Also any sense of what is being built in Calgary doesn't matter if you only pitch a couple years at a UFA as it screams "we dont want you here long term"

Fair enough and you're probably right. Personally, I would go to 5 years on a guy like Stafford but I'm not sure Treliving will go more than 3, based on what we saw last summer. Could be the difference between getting the guy or not, I guess it depends on how much he likes the player. Personally, I would take 3x6m over 5x4m if I were a player and those were the theoretical options.
