This is the exact same situation. Flames table their best offer and also go out and get the best trade offers. Johnny has until 12pm on the 27th to sign or he gets traded.
If Johnny wants to stay he will sign

Im not sure they can even wait til the 27th...I think that if they deal him, it has to be at the draft on the 23rd or other teams may go another direction depending on assets being used.
Hard to give up a 2021 1st in a deal when its already been used...just as an example.
Dunno...its russian roulette to let it get to the 28th, thats for sure. It would be BT's death knell to let him get to UFA and see him walk for nothing.
