I think the hitch is definitely the term the Flames offered. Of course I don't know the inner workinf of whats been going on but the dollar amount is inconsequential as the Flames have tons of cap to play with. So term is the issue and I fully understand if the Flames aren't going to pony up the years. There's more than a few players coming up through the system that will be chomping at the bit after next season.
Add to that, Hudler will stay and the Flames could go out and Dump money AND Term on a guy like Vanek if needed.
