I don't get the max term trend when teams know it hurts them at the backend, unless it's a cant-miss player that they need to the extend to keep the team competitive that it's worth stomaching.
I'm nor sure -38 Andersson is in that category.
He's good but not a necessity that we need to pony up max term for.
How about 6 x 7.5, take it or leave it if you really care about being here. Otherwise we'll facilitate finding a new home for you.
We don't hand out 8 years like candy unless you're justifying that to us.
At least that would be my assessment.

Every team in the league would offer him a 6x7.5M. That would be a unreal contract for Calgary.
And ya, if he hadn't of had a down year it likely would be 8.5Mx8. Hell if he played like last year maybe 9M. 7-7.5M is going to be #3 money going forward.
