It isn't top 3 worst deal of the day because it isn't enough to hurt the Flames or affect how they operate going forward. It doesn't handcuff them, it doesn't prevent them from signing/adding anyone in the future and it doesn't prevent a young guy from playing.

It is too much money yes but not so outrageous or damaging that it matters that much at all.
I agree it's not top 3 worst. After looking at the contracts, it currently sits at 4th worst IMO

I understand that it might not impact the Flames immediately, but we don't know what can happen in a year or two and I'd rather take on a bad contract via trade and get something for it rather than just sign our own bad contract.
