What Should Be Eric Gelinas' Next Contract?

Ray Shero has four signings he must make in this offseason: re-sign the four restricted free agents he qualified. Those four are defenseman Adam Larsson, winger Stefan Matteau, defenseman Seth Helgeson, and defenseman Eric Gelinas. Today, I want to focus on Gelinas. Among those four, he was a regular part of the New Jersey Devils for the last two seasons. Whether he's anything more than a third-pairing defender remains to be seen. Still, he should command a decent increase and the Devils absolutely have the cap space for it (and more).
