Is he going to give up the money so Dallas can continue to pay him a pittance? They really can't afford to give him a raise to the kind of money for which the compensation is a 2nd.

Also, Jim Nill has to be thinking proactively around Bourque to avoid getting only a second for Bourque from an offer sheet.

So which other players is he going to dump to make cap space to do that?
I don't think it's likely that Bourque will sign an offer sheet with the Flames, but I do think it's likely that he signs an offer sheet with somebody.
