They have 5 picks in the top 3 rounds next year (and 11 picks in the top 3 rounds over the next 2 years) so they might think they can absorb giving away a couple 1sts, a 2nd and a 3rd to lock him in at an 5-year deal at $10M.

My crazy scenario: Ottawa signs Chucky to an insane offer sheet and gives up multiple firsts to do so. Flames then sign Taylor Hall in the offseason, and Flames win the next 3 1st overall picks with Ottawa's picks, all the while keeping the team at a contending level. Sign me up lol.
