First off, I'm glad we finally have some news. And it is basically what I expected. Why wouldn't the agent ask for the moon and more?
Secondly, I am ecstatic to see the Flames are offering exactly what I would offer. I think it would be quite easy to structure a deal where he is making fair RFA money, and during the UFA years he is making $7.5MM.

Why give away $750,000 per season, if you are the Flames? That's $750,000 that can be used to retain a guy like Bennett, Tkachuk or Elliot.
