I'm for giving up a 1st and 3rd, but not in a deep year like this one. Secondly, the guy hasn't proven anything to warrent that high salary. Signing him sets a bad precedent for an already inflated ego player. I'm surprised he hasn't gotten much slack for basically doing the same thing Subban did. As well, if the Flames thought he was really such a good player, why wouldn't they sign him to a longer contract? Given we'd be losing a potential star with a top 5 pick this year, how could they justify losing a top 5 pick for a rental? Stupid offer given these circumstances.
