*IF* ... and I stress the "if"...this was a legit counter-offer, the timing is such that if the Flames can find their way to agreement TODAY, they can have their cake and eat it too...at a price.
Signed deal (or at least close enough they know where they can meet) leaves Brad free to act at the Draft to look for deals etc.
IF TRUE....that shows that JG cares about the team as well, and wants success for the team as well as himself...albeit at a price that meets his needs slightly more than the Flames.
