He could always see what’s out there and then circle back to the Flames.
A lot can happen this season to sway his decision one way or another. I think if his and the managements mind was 100% made up on this, he would have a new contract signed already

Exactly.
If he wants to stay (as stated), and the Flames want him to stay (as stated)....deal would be done.
So something is preventing that from happening.
Knowing that it is most likely term over dollars at this point ($$ should be pretty cut and dry by now using comparables) then the team (or JG) has to acquiesce on term. Are the Flames willing too?
If not, why would he not wait and see who else will give him the term he seeks? It costs him nothing to do this.
This doesn't mean it wont happen but there is every reason to believe that it will considering all the factors and seeing where we are on the calendar.
