What would you do?
Personally, I'd want to see at least $10.5MM over 8 meaning $84MM or I'm going to free agency. I think GioforPM has it correct on the numbers but I'm not losing multiple millions of dollars to play in Calgary no matter how many times The Cobra or anybody else wants you to believe this "isn't over money".
Yes, it is.

I can't tell if you are agreeing with me or disagreeing with me. The Flames will offer him the biggest contract because of that 8th year. If he signs with another team, then it likely means he values geography more than an extra $5-10 million. I think the Flames would pay him anything under 12M/year. Let's say it lands at 10.5M x 8 = 84M. For another team to match that value they'd have to pay him 12M/year - I don't see a lot of teams offering him that kind of money. If the Flames agreed to pay him 11.5Mx8= 92M - for another team to match that they'd have to take a cap hit of over 13M AAV. Not happening.
I guess I am unclear on what you are saying in the above? You think Johnny will leave the Flames over money? If it's only about money, Johnny will be a Flame.
