The guy has been with the Flames for a few months and it's kind of humorous to see how many fans are just fine with locking him up long term based on such a small sample size. That's how teams get in trouble IMO. I'm pretty confident the Flames braintrust will want to see him play out into next season before making any judgements on what to do with him.
OP said 4 years. Seems like a risk worth taking. Even if he sucks it’s just four years and his flashes of brilliance will give us some entertainment.
