On the other hand, you can start with modest demands, and as more teams make pitches you can play them off against one another. Better to string them along and raise the price closer to the deadline than set an unrealistic price early and drive bidders into the arms of other options.
You don't start off low and keep raising the price when the other side gets to your perceived value point, THAT is how you drive someone away.

Don't worry, what the Flames are doing is right. The complaining about the value being too high is par for the course. If they weren't interested, they wouldn't be complaining.
