I have no problem with Flames stance on this. There’s no benefit to coming out and saying they’re open for business. It’ll kill any enthusiasm in the room.
And if they can’t get an extension done, maybe things change in 6-12 months. Saying we won’t trade him will help keep price high and offers strong.
Seems like a win-win. We re sign a quality player or we trade him for a haul.
