I would be shocked if he signed here

I agree I feel like the Flames are that team that is being used as leverage because they can offer the big money, long term deal and not have to shift huge portions of cap like Vegas or Toronto. The Pietrangelo camp can use them as leverage to get the contract structure they want from the Blues.
Reminds me of when Brad Richards did that to the Rangers back in 2011. Flames and the Feaster connection offered the biggest contract and were thought to be in the mix but really they never had a chance. Richards wanted to go to the Rangers and settled for less than the rumored Flames offer but very much in the ballpark.
