it is most likely that yes a deal will get done but it is becoming pretty clear that Brodie is not liking what the current offer is and the Flames are not willing to give what Brodie wants.
It is good business for the Flames if they can cheap out with a Butler type deal. But it really bad business if they make through these not very smooth negotiations a young core player say screw it i will sign the 1 or 2 year deal but come UFA i am out of here.
That is a real possibility and if Brodie was looking for a long term deal the Flames are messing up his positive opinion on them into a negative and it is their own doing.
The Flames should be putting a hell of lot more value on young Brodie importance to the Flames in 2-4 years than Butler. They probably have a Butler like deal on the table.
