You also are not going to get any kind of impact player back in a JG trade at this point and he is the guy who stirs the offence here so if the Flames trade him they might as well go full rebuild which they clearly are not. It will get done and it will get done here. The team wants to try and contend, the player has made it very clear he wants to stay, it will get done.

Where have you heard 6 years at $8mil? I'd probably be comfortable with that as opposed to max years at a million or so more. I can't really see it, mind you, with a free agent biding war on his table next summer, but I'd like it if that were true.
