They would still have to deal him or then limit themselves to 5 teams they can talk to or lose him for nothing at all next year.
Its just the position he/they are in with each other.

I'm old enough to remember Macinnis unequivocally saying he wanted to stay in Calgary for the whole of his career. Fleury too (and I also remember him saying money wasn't a big deal after a certain level). The tune changed at the actual negotiation table and they were gone soon after.
