You can't pay your 6/7 defenseman $2.9 million and expect to be a contending team. Doesn't mater whether he was acquired as a UFA or not, the cap is the same. The Flames are a bad team so it's not like he would be higher in the depth chart elsewhere. The Flames aren't contending for anything over the term of his contract so maybe it doesn't matter but it's hard to argue he is on a good deal.
