I still don't understand the motivation for more term for an upcoming player like Brodie. Go and prove what you are for 2 years, then go for money and term. Right now even with some more term, he won't be able to get much more money based on his current body of work.

A 3 year term would give him 5 years of NHL service thus making him eligible for arbitration while being 1 year away from reaching UFA status.
I am positive that is why he want's 3 years and the Flames do not, if gives him more leverage next time around.
