Calgary with the advantage of offering the 8th year

I wasn’t suggesting anyone would lowball. But there will be a highest bidder. And surprisingly, even the $3M dollar difference in your example makes a difference, especially when you consider there’s a danger of a buyout the longer the contract goes. Taxes may influence it as well. Someone like Vegas or one of the other tax friendly jurisdictions may come out of the woodwork.
