To the people saying too much - too much compared to what?

16 goals, 18 assists, good PKer, great team guy, embodies team spirit. I just don't get what you're comparing it to. It seems silly to sit back and arbitrarily state that it's 200-500K too much for "one good season". Where are some actual comparisons that show the Flames overpaid?

He has played two full NHL seasons.

The growth from season 1 to season 2 was significant.

Season 1: 5G, 10A, 15 points
Season 2: 16G, 18A, 34 points

Next year, if we have a good season we're going to see this on a different scale with a certain player.

Season 1: 24G, 40A, 64 points
Season 2: 32G, 50A, 82 points

Will we all be going crazy when he signs an extension worth 7M per for 8 years?
