Like most fans I would like to see him signed but the contract has to work for the Flames as there will be a point in 5 years where the team has a lot of players closing into their mid-30's and Treliving needs to be careful that the team doesn't get handcuffed like the Sharks currently are.

I think we can assume that in 4-5 years the Flames will be severely handcuffed.
That's the nature of signing players to long term contracts who are reaching (or have reached) 30.
My view is, one more bad contract in 5 years won't make much difference.
