His value may never be higher than it is now and he certainly wouldn't want to risk that on what would be essentially another show me deal. Everyone knows what he is and the Flames would be dumb to gamble on that when salaries only continue to go up.

If he may never be worth more, then the Flames should avoid a long term deal at this point like the plague.
