Like the Gaudreau situation the Flames are offering the most total dollars by a longshot...if the player won't sign it how on earth do you blame the GM/Organization

You go higher? We just don't know where either camp is at right now (aside from the fact that both want a long term commitment), but not spending an extra $1M/year (or whatever it is, but it can't be significantly higher) on him is going to get you what in the long run?
A Flames team possibly without Weegar next year is not nearly as formidable as it would be with him. Maybe some sort of miracle plays out after the season and he's re-signed, but I don't think anyone wants to bank on it and it will likely cost you more at that point than it will now anyway.
