When he was in Edmonton we laughed at their defensive depth so I find it a little hypocritical that some are saying he's the top free agent defenseman in this class or the deal compares favorably to say Wideman. He's really nothing special at all and he was even a healthy scratch a times for the Oilers and has had his ice time reduced at times for Team USA at the WHC. I personally would be horrified if the Flames signed him to this deal. Sure it's nowhere close to the worst deals in the NHL but it's not a good deal at all for the Habs.
