I've been a Matt Martin fan for years. The problem here is that there isn't going to be a "reasonable price". There are enough teams interested that this will be a July 1st signing. How often on July 1st do you think to yourself, wow that's a reasonable price for that player?

This is a role player that everyone wants. Think Brandon Prust a few years ago. I don't want the Flames getting into a bidding war for a fourth liner. Find a 23 year old version of Matt Martin. Maybe they already have one in Hathaway.
