I wonder what option the Bennett camp would opt for? For the Flames management I would imagine their preference would be the reverse order of these options ie they would prefer a 5x5 deal.
Will be interesting to see how this negotiation shakes out.

They would take the $25 million deal. Compared to option 4, Bennett would be making $9 million in year 5. I get your point, but the increments are too large IMO for the Flames to consider this.
I'm surprised he's not signed yet unless Treliving is really trying go long term at relatively low dollars.
