I would give him a foot in the door with the Flames if it was a one-year deal. The worst case scenario is that he bombs and is gone next year. The best case scenario is that he does well enough that he can at least be traded for something or possibly re-signed.
I think this team is at a point that it can take these sorts of chances.
