Someone else can pay him that. It’d be one thing if the flames hadn’t just invested in Kadri and Huby, or if they had a young roster with some ELC guys ready to step up big time.
I’d sooner go 5-6 years and increase AAV. No more 8 year deals for guys who’ll spend half the contact post apex.

No 29 year old is going to sign a 5-6 year contract. To make up for the lost 2-3 years, you’d need to spread that 27M lost across those earlier years.
$9M X 8 Years = $72M.
$14.4M X 5 Years = $72M.
