Nobody is going to offer him more than he's worth AND give up draft picks, when there are so many quality UFA forwards that will be available this summer for the cost of the contract alone (would you pay him 8.5M AND give up your next four 1st round picks?). If he is offer sheeted, I'm sure the Flames will be happy to match if the offer is in the region of 7-8M for 7 years, or to accept the four 1sts if the offer is 9M+ as some have suggested.
