So even if the Flames didn't match, any offer over 7.3 means we are walking away with 2 firsts, a second and a third, which is more than what we had yesterday. Anything over 9 mill and you can have him, I'll take your 4 1st rounders.
So no. I'm not worried at all.

further to that the total compensation is divided by 5 to get offer sheet compensation so even if he was offered 7yrs X6.5 million = (which i think everyone agrees he's probably worth) the amount for offer sheet compensation would be 9.1 million so 4 firsts
When a player accepts an offer sheet and his team declines to match the value of the contract, his former team is entitled to draft pick compensation in the next upcoming draft or drafts based on the averaged yearly salary of the contract. This averaged annual salary is determined by dividing the total compensation by the lesser of the number of years of the Offer Sheet or five years (the latter clause has potentially come into play with one offer sheet---offered to Shea Weber in the 2012 offseason)
