This will get done July 1, no problem. Stampede week no problem. So we wait and nothing not even a sniff of progress. This thread will still to be active after Aug 1. Johnny and Monahan will stick to their guns as they should.
I see this going from what we all maintain 6-7 years down to the players signing 3 in mid August at the same 7m range just to get it done. There is no doubt in my mind Treliving is playing hardball.
I will maintain my original thought on all this from June. You take care of your major pieces early on a team and then fill in. The Flames are definitely going against the norm.
The Flames think their stars should do them a solid and sign for 1m less each and Treliving is negotiating by pointing out what they don't do to accomplish that. Hey Brad how's that working out for you?
