I feel putting any stock into what people are thinking / feeling in the present, on a decision that isn't relevant for 3 more years (maybe 2 I guess) is futile. Don't get me wrong, as a Flames fan, hearing 97 and fam are leaning towards not staying when the contract is up, is certainly better than hearing how much they love it, and for sure increases the odds that they'll decide to leave in 3 years, but as mentioned, so much can change between now and then.

Family situations, and what happens on the ice for them over the next 3 years are likely far bigger factors into influencing their final decision vs. anything they feel or think they know now.
