Where are these players going to get more money? The Flames can offer the highest term and has a history of overpaying for free agents. They won't get a better offer from any other team than Calgary. Lindholm and Hanifin can extend on an 8 year deal on July 1 or wait till next year and only sign a 7 year deal with another team? The extra money they get next year probably just washes out with that extra year they can get with the Flames.
If they don't want to sign an extension here, it is likely because these players don't believe this team can win. They got a look first hand at the guys who are suppose to lead this team and they didn't like what they saw.
