Unless the Flames retain salary (and he agrees to move) he is a Flame until next years deadline. Let's hope he plays well and we win as much as we can while he's here.

Praise? He gets almost no praise here. He gets crapped on in almost every thread, regardless of the topic.
He definitely earned his money last year. He had 54 points! He was 4th in the entire league for scoring, and he logged a ton of minutes, especially after Gio went down. His salary isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Top defensemen in this league make more than 10 Million a year.
