Everyone in the world knows that the Flames leverage is the extra year, and yes it is obvious that the Flames will clearly use the extra year. 
As another poster said if the Flames aren't willing to go eight years on Guadreau then sell the team. But the idea that they would go 7 years in an equal battle with 31 other teams but won't go the extra year that only they have access to is patently absurd. Like just bonkers.
If the Flames are in on Gaudureau (which they quite obviously are) then they are in on him with an eight year offer, lol. |
Well, no. An 8 year deal at $9M ($72M) is less total than 7 years at $11M ($77M), even before taxes. I doubt Treliving would miss the market price by that much, but It's not impossible.
