There is really no rush for Bennett's camp to accept a Flames offer.

It is unlikely the Flames will decrease their offer as camp rolls around.

He has so little leverage, that there is no rush for the Flames to increase their offer.

Essentially Bennett's agent is hoping that the uncertainty of not having Bennett signed will force Treliving to move a little. For example an injury to another Center or a trade/signing that Treliving needs to act on but needs clarity on his salary cap before pulling the trigger.

Really the next pressure point to get a deal done is how willing each side is to have Bennett miss part or all of training camp.
