If he signs, he won't get nearly what he would get after a good season.
And if he doesn't have a breakout season, he is better off signing a bridge deal than a long term deal.
There is no reason for him to sign now.

So you don't think there's a fair deal, right now that makes sense for the Flames long term and Bennett long term right now that takes away the risk if Bennett having too strong a 2017 season (risk for Flames) or too weak (risk for Bennett)? I suppose that is a reasonable position but I don't think a bridge is in the Flames' best interests as I see ROR/Subban type risk there (worst case scenario) and I don't think you are getting anything below exact market value if you let his final ELC year play out and it is successful.
