Pretty easy work around to that tho. something like if he re-signs or the flames make it to the SC final it's 2019 first, if he doesn't it's a 2019 3rd or something like that.
CLB, at worst gets a decent pick and prospect, and at best gets a great return on a goalie who was leaving them anyways.
CGY can then go forward with contract talks and if the ask is too high and they'd rather go after Varlamov or Talbot in the offseason they can rest easy knowing the price they paid was worth a shot this year without giving up too much in terms of future assets.
