No way in hell he'll agree to three years, imo and even two years would be a reluctant signing in his part.
So I'd imagine the Flames started wanting three, Sam started wanting one, and they'll eventually meet at two, but Sam's side likely wants a big number for two years as they'll see it as a major concession to take two, where as the Flames will still want a low number for two.

1 year is not a large enough sample size to determine if henisnworth $6M long term. Bennett breaks out next year for 30 goals and 60pts I would still be hesitant to hand out the Monahan contract. If he does it twice then sure thing.
I agree all signs point to a 2 year deal. I wouldn't mind the Flames overpaying a bit to get the 3rd year. Say 3x3
