It's up to him to prove he belongs in the NHL. Calgary got great value IMO for a player that was going to walk. Vancouver is hoping he is going to find his touch and mesh with Hansen and Horvat.

Yup that's the way I see it too - it was a sensible deal for both sides. I would be Vancouver placed slightly high value on the player than other teams because of their familiarity with him from guys with the organization.
