Right shot or not teams aren't going to lineup with big offers and his reported contract ask seems to be bordering on ridiculous, if he was better on the PP I could see a slight raise but at this point he is what he's making, sadly I see him as one of those guys going to UFA and settling on small one year contracts and never getting a long term offer.
A smart agent would advise him to take somewhere around 3x6m from the Flames and try and get a larger deal at age 31 when the cap goes thru the roof.

Or, a smart agent and player know the decline has started and are treading water to get as much money and term as possible right now.
If Ras was worth his contract demand, CC would have already signed him. We have lots of cap space, and when it comes to prospects the Flames have shown over and over they are a bird in hand versus bird in the bush team. Tehy always err on the side of the proven commodity.
