I remember something about his going rate would have been $10mill last contract, I'd call that a hometown discount. I do not agree that the Flames organization went out of their way to find him top people to play with though. If they really did that they wouldn't have failed the way they did, would they? Are they really that inept, over all that time? Anyway, it's over, lets see what the future brings.
