this thread is definitely getting epic. I was vocally not a fan of the signing, but at the end of the day, it's a minor issue for the club and doesn't really equate to Wins/Losses for this team.
in the new cap era, i often have wondered if players would ever have a "max" value after which they wouldn't negotiate higher? This player hasn't played 10s with a flames jersey, and he's already pinned as the team's goat and whipping boy, simply because of the contract $'s he signed for.
How many players take up way to much salary and then suffer the media/fan scrutiny when they just can't live up to the dollars they sign for. I'm guessing this never happens, but always curious.
