It's really too bad.
Have a feeling that Engelland is never going to get a fair shake by a lot of Flames fans. Have no problem with the contract given the current situation but Engelland is in a no-win situation, if he does his job and is a great third pairing guy who brings intangibles that fans can't see on the ice he'll still be called overpaid. If he has a rough year he'll be a huge whipping boy.
Really hope that fans can forget about his salary and give him a fair shake as a Flame.
