To be fair though, he was unlucky with injuries this year.
Some might ask WHY would HE re-sign here? Well, if the Flames offer him, say 1 year, $7M deal, I can't possibly see how he turns it down. We're going to have overpay a FA, might as well be a guy who's well liked in the locker room if nothing else.
Best case scenario, he plays well, we get a lot more than we could have gotten today. Worst case scenario, he plays like c*ap we either trade him for a late pick(s), play like c*ap and draft McDavid.
