In the current and near future salary cap climate it'd be very difficult to convince Wolf to accept $7.5 aav for max term. $7.5 - $8.5mil AAV is likely going to get you a disastrous 2-3 year term (he's a UFA 2028 and I can't see any scenario where Conroy walks a potential elite goalie to free agency after being a part of Tkachuk walking).
Most likely need $10-$12mil if you want him to commit to a contract that takes him to 30+ years old. 8 year term is asking him to sign his payday contract in his career that takes him through his prime.

Well that's not a leak lol. 7.5m aav is top 10 in the league, as I said. If the number starts with a 10 I expect an absolute lights out season, which is why the Flames are hopefully making a strong pitch now.
