He is also going to get more money from the Flames just by virtue of the fact that he's the captain and face of the franchise.
Before the lockout, I believed that they were going to wait to see what the new financial system was going to look like, then make a deal before the puck drops on the season. I'll stand by that prediction now.
4 year deal with a $6M cap hit (7,6,6,5) announced late next week.
