I saw the numbers and thought great value to get a year of his UFA. He probably will get hurt given his style. You are paying for 60 games a year...prorated its a ~$3m type number. I think for a guy who's career isn't going to be that long playing this way, that is a decent number for what he leaves on the ice. And not too many years that would allow him to sit back, get comfy and not play his style that got him there.
