That’s a reason to stay. That’s basically $20M extra - I don’t care how much I’d like to play in my home town, I don’t care what the tax rate is.

$20M is $20M.

So, they can keep him. They just have to give him better term and dollars.
I doubt an 8th year is going to be the factor that convinces him to resign with the Flames in my opinion.

If he is only looking at the money aspect, moving to the states is a better option (i.e. tax free states etc.).
