2 year deal helps the reach the floor, and keeps the room stable without changes that could hurt that work ethic and culture that is a huge part of the steps this team has taken.

While I agree with Cammi at 2 years , I just can't see it getting done. I think Cammi will get at least a 4 year $20million contract. That's $20 million guaranteed even if he gets hurt. At the very least I would think it would take $7 million a year on 2 years. Even then I'm not sure? If injured he would still lose out on $6 million. I think it would take closer to $8 million a year for 2 years. Yes flames have cap space but is ownership really going to want to throw that kind of money to a guy who is not a superstar? It's not like if he signs a big $ contract that Cammi jerseys are going to fly off the shelf, or when the closing months of the season come by fans are going to say let's get down to the dome to see Cammi play.
