Some of the insiders have been mentioning they think the flames want an answer one way or the other sooner than that so they have time to pivot if need be.

Yes, that is what I was implying also. If JG wants to stay the next move is a counter offer. 9.5M is not insulting, and given it’s the opening offer it’s pretty easy to assume that their max number would be a good deal higher. The only reason not to counter is because JG hasn’t yet decided if he wants to stay. The Flames don’t need to up their offer if the Gaudreau camp is silent.
