It's silly to give Lance a bridge contract. We know exactly what kind of player we have. He doesn't need a "show me" contract. He just showed everyone all year why Treliving called him "The DNA of the Calgary Flames." He so thoroughly embodies the identity of the Flames that I believe his influence is next only to Giordano in terms of how to play the game the right way. Maybe he's not a prenennial 20 goal scorer, but he's so valuable for more than just the goals he's scored this year.
