As in 6 year contract (quite likely) or 6M? (never happening)

I projected with 7 as the max he could get. IMO he is signing a 2-3 year bridge or a 6-7 long term. 1 year goes to arb. too quickly, 4 years is straight to UFA, bad for team, 5 years is not enough UFA years for team to buy, not enough UFA years for player to get more $$ in the contract

I got the 4.9M by adding 1 year of Montour's hit to the full 6 years of Skjei's deal, then rounded down (as Hanifin doesn't have arb. rights)
He will push for more, citing Morgan Rielly, Seth Jones, Rasmus Ristolainen as draft position comparables
Flames will want lower due to lacking arb. rights, only 1 season over 30 points
4.9M seems like the middle ground, though Treliving also has a way of squeezing more out of RFA deals which could knock it down (as would a 6 year deal vs 7)
