I would rather not have the Flames be stuck with a cap hit of $5.75M for the next 5 years for "winning faceoffs and hitting". That deal could potentially handcuff the team when it's time to re-sign Monahan, Backlund, Giordano, Gaudreau, Bennett... and whoever else will need big extensions in a few years.
