I think the Flames have been pretty consistent about not wanting long term contracts. Huge difference in signing a guy in his mid-twenties and a guy that will be 33 when the extention kicks in. Hamilton apparently pushed for 8 years and they landed on 6. I think the Flames would want push for 3-4 and settle on 5 years. Hopefully around $7.5AAV.
Too bad there hasn't been more news since the "news" that Kypreos broke. Likely won't hear anything until the RFA's are signed up.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
