If he goes through his ELC from age 18-21. Gets his first 4 or 5 year contract that takes him to 25 or 26 he would still be an RFA and the Flames would be able to then sign him to the 8 year contract to lock him up for the rest of his prime years.
I am a little fuzzy if that has changed with the new CBA but I thought that was the jist of it.

Bouw was 25 when the flames signed him as ufa. It is 7 years or 27 years old I believe
