He's 27 right now, so he'll be looking for 'the' contract. A seven year contract would bring him to 34/35 yrs old. Ugh... ~6 mill for a 34 year old. NHL salaries have increased so much.
And he's played one full year (81 games) at 46 pts. Before that, he didn't put nearly as many points up. That hardly warrants a 7 year contract.
I'm sick of UFAs... ugh...
I really hope the Flames start drafting AND developing their players well.
