Cause the Flames will make sure whoever they trade with will get the extension too, in order to maximize return.
If St Louis won't pay up now, someone else on Matthews list will get him long term.
He's not going to make it to UFA next offseason.
They either want him and pay to get their wish, or can watch him play elsewhere.
