Yeah, I think you got to try this summer. Burke was just being Burke with his "there's a possibility of an extension".
If there's any coolness to signing an extension this summer it will be from Elliot's camp. The Flames should, and likely are all in to try and get a reasonable extension signed this off season.
He's almost assuredly going to have a good season and if things start to come together for the Flames, we're easily looking at $6+, maybe even $7+ if he has a stellar season.
As fans, we should be dreaming of an extension this summer, imo. This is not a "wait and see" situation, or we'll likely be waiting and seeing which core piece moves on to make room at a later date.
