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

Diagree, the landscape has changed in regards to contracts. A young, high draft pick that was already showing signs of putting it together can certainly get a $6mil+ contract (cap hit) with said break out season.
Especially 30 goals, 60 points like you mentioned. If that's what Bennett can do next season and he's on a one year contract, he's signing a big one next summer and that's what he's banking on and what's keeping this negotiation going, imo.
