No idea what number he's asking for, but if it's 3 or less, I don't think that's crazy. I understand that he was out for the majority of his last contract, so didn't get a chance to show he's improved, but I do see his side of it and asking for a slight raise simply because it's a new contract. 2 years instead of 1 also makes a ton of sense for him. As for the Flames, a bit surprised they don't want to go for more than a year given their current state, but maybe for the organization, their current state doesn't matter, which is understandable.
