Put yourself in the Flames shoes. What would you do?
Roll the dice and ensure a 7-8 year contract that gives you no escape route and the player gets regardless of performance, or be protective of your future balance sheet knowing that Zary, Pelletier, Honzek, Suniev, Poirier, and hopefully many more are coming due, and offer as little term as possible for an asset embarking on a decline?
