As for giving Neal 6 years, if he'd sign with the Flames I would do it. It may be a bad contract in 4-5 years but worry about it then, this team needs help now.

Is 6 the longest we could offer because I’d be happy to offer 7 if the cap hit fits for 2-3 years. After that if it’s not a fit there are trades, buyouts, and likely expansion draft to move the contract off. As long as we can resign Tkachuk and get to lockout it won’t matter. In 5 years Gaudreau is up and in 6 Monahan. The time is now.
