Doesn't that take him into arbitration rights territory? And you'd also have to qualify him at $6+ right?
The Flames will never have more leverage than they do right now. And they will never be able to spread UFA years across more RFA years than they can now.
Although I do like the risk mitigation of a show me deal. But if he shows you you're paying him big dollars. I kinda like gambling now at a lower AAV that he probably shows you but might not.
