The Calgary Flames and forward Micheal Ferland are "getting closer" to reaching a deal after negotiations this week, Sportsnet's Roger Millions reports.
Ferland will be eligible for Salary Arb soon. Hearing his camp doesn't want to give that up. So for the player money needs to justify term

Ferland scored two goals and added three assists in 26 regular-season games with the Flames in his rookie campaign. He became a fan favorite in the playoffs, scoring three goals and notching a pair of assists in nine contests.
The 23-year-old is a restricted free agent who made less than $1 million in 2014-15. He's Calgary's lone remaining free agent.
Ferland was a fifth-round pick of the Flames in 2010.
