Right now he either has or fully expects that there will be a better offer coming his way on July 13.... but he is not supposed to know for sure.
Taylor Hall thought he was getting a lot of huge offers when he had to settle for the 1 yr x 8 Buffalo deal.
No one answered: What top player waited until the deadline and then signed back with his current team?

The offer has be a lot better after July 13th because he's cut out a year of earnings.
8 x 9.5 = 76M - he'd need to know he has an offer of 7 x 10.9M to beat the total value.
If the Flames can go to 10.25, then he'd have to get $11.7M x 7 to beat that.
If he goes to free agency day - then you have to assume he's gone.
