If this is the case it also shows the Flames management the strong desire Russell has in wanting to be in Calgary.
I personally think the Flames have some things in the queue and are waiting closer to the season to see if a better offer emerges or if any injuries/signings happen in the early days of camp which may change a teams current position.
Just need the first domino to fall. Realistically, it isn't until the eve of camp that this has to be hashed out.
