This is a good point.
So even if another team offer say $10M x 7 years on the open market, the Flames don't have to offer $10M AAV because of the 8th year.
I still think that $72M x 8 years should get the deal done or $9M AAV.
For another team to match the total value it would have to be $72M x 7 which is $10.3M AAV, that's a big advantage for the Flames to be able to go 8 years.
