I'm trying to look at this from ROR's point of view. If he demands $6.5M and the Flames don't qualify him, how highly do you think other teams will think of him? He's not going to get $6.5M as a UFA either, so what benefit is ROR gaining from doing this to the Flames?

Is he twirling his mustache in malevolent anticipation?
Multiple bids rather then just 1 team offering

Sometimes it surprises me the simple things you don't seem to understand
