I'm not entirely sure what to make of this, but Treliving said:
“We tried, I can honestly say,” Treliving said about trying to re-sign the Calgary club’s leading marksman last season.
“The credit goes to our ownership. They made a number of significant proposals at varied terms, varied dollar amounts … I can assure our fans that every effort was made to bring Mike back.
“This is not a situation where we weren’t prepared, where we didn’t offer what I consider significant dollars. In some cases, on an annual basis, it was more than competitive.”

Not sure if that means we offered more after all, but sounds like it might have been? We might not have been willing to offer the 5 years New Jersey did.
