I see the benefits from the Flames side and if Bennett was willing to take the exact same 7 year 28M deal as Josi I would be overjoyed. I just do not see that being appealing for Bennett who was a top 4 pick.

Of course. When you were arguing the Flames shouldn't be paying for potential I thought your argument was that the Flames wouldn't touch a long term deal for Bennett, which I don't think would be the case.
There is obviously risk for both sides, but 28-30 million in guaranteed money isn't anything to turn your nose at. Some players would prefer to just get that stability. Arvidsson just did it.
