Steve Penney had a good playoff run once. I don't think half a season really justifies a salary of $4 million, especially when you consider where he was in the Sharks organization before the trade.
Remember the reaction of the majority of people on this board when they found out about the Kiprusoff trade? It wasn't positive even though we needed a goalie desperately.
Any Flames fan is lying if they say they're not worried about whether or not he can continue playing at that level in the future. He needs a season at $1.4 million to prove his consistency over multiple seasons and then they can talk bigger dollars at the end of that contract.
