He also might not be taking a young player out of the lineup this season, as no one is ready to make the jump, but he is signed for 3 years as is the rest of our D core. A young D man should be ready to step in within 3 years (I hope to god) and we have a logjam of highly paid defenseman signed long term. This adds to that log jam
And I really dont think anyone is making this into an issue. Simply that it is a huge overpayment and the benefits of the contract wont come close to outweighing the cost

First of all it's not a huge contract so it's not a huge overpayment, it doesn't affect the team budget in anyway, it doesn't affect us fans in anyway in how the Flames spend their money, who cares how much they pay him I will watch the team play smash hockey and enjoy it, pretty sure the GM et al have a better understanding of what they're doing than anyone on this or any forum board.
Go Flames Go
