Also don't forget the guy makes $6.5mil/year. If he makes $2 to $3 mill it would be an entirely different story.

From all reports the players of toronto love him in the locker room. He did not fit into the "country club" of the flames. I am not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing?
Look at when he signed that contract. Those were the type of deals going out then. If anybody is to blame it's Sutter for giving him that money.
Toronto screwed any last chance of him becoming a top pairing d-man when they named him Captain.
