Don't look now, but Jay might just be worth his $6.68M salary.
-2, not quarterbacking the 1st unit PP, not really providing other intangibles (like physical presence, etc...) does not make him worth his $6.68M dollar salary.

I'm excited for the first time as a Flame he's putting up solid points, but he's still the 2nd highest paid Flame, and one of the highest paid D men in the league, he's not coming close yet to being the difference make he's paid to be. At that price Jay should be in the Norris discussion every season and a lock for team Canada in 2014, he is neither at the moment.
