Sportsnet probably still wants the Flames, this is likely just a strongarm as we're a very small market for them by Canadian hockey standards. They'll re-up with the Oilers and make the Flames take a lesser offer later, and I bet the Flames will go for it.

Maybe Rogers is trying to lowball the Flames into accepting a lesser deal but regardless how tight King is with the Rogers boys I can't see his bosses taking a lowball deal from RSN if TSN is willing to pay more.
