I'm glad Treliving is getting the experience, but I hope he gets back to work at his actual job soon. These two players should not go into the free agency period without contracts and expose Calgary to that risk.
I recall something along the lines that offer sheet compensation is based on 5 years term. So if someone offer sheets him for 8.5 for 8 years the compensation would be based on a salary of 13.6 million per year. Someone can please correct the exact term reagarding this clause.

But in the end, the compensation for any offer sheet that Johnny could be convinced to sign would result in the max compensation of 4 first round picks.

IMO all of this is moot anyway as he will be signed by the Flames.
