Of course you don’t, as that favours the Flames.
But any player with leverage at the age of 28 wants to sign a 8 year extension. It pays him way more money when he gets older than the market would at that time.
If the flames only wanted to sign him him for 5 years or less, they would likely have already traded him, as they know it won’t get it done.
