Close to what the Flames would offer him over 7 years, which I expect would be a higher overall cap hit year-over-year, but which might be preferable than an 8 year deal from the team's perspective anyway.
I'm sure Johnny has a pretty good idea what the Flames would put on the table for 7 years on the basis of the negotiations to date. I might argue that 7 years at around 11 million might be better for both team and player than 8 years at 10 million...
