The team acquiring would use year 8 to bring the avg down. They won't be offering the 7 year annual rate over 8 years, would they? Maybe they would, but I doubt it.
More likely, the acquiring team offers close to what the Flames are offering otherwise why would they bother giving up an asset? So that's probably not more money JG after all.
If the FA bidding gets stupid (it always seems to) he could make more on a 7 year and get his money sooner. If I was his agent at this point I would tell him to wait and see what tomorrow brings. Likely CGY, NJD and PHI all bidding.
I'm just trying to balance why all three parties (Flames, JG, Destination Team) would want to do this 'trade for rights thing' even if they could.
