Anyways, so far we have two signings for potential stardom that either played out really badly (Phaneuf) or don't look too great so far (Hamilton). You can be sure Murray Edwards is reminding Treliving of this when it comes to Johnny and Sean, as well as the fact there is only so many long term max contracts the Flames can take on. Its not all popcorn and lollypops when it comes to business in the NHL.

I would argue that Dougies contract A) is just fine value wise right now. 22nd in defensman points, 15th highest paid dmen (tied with a few guys and <1m more than a lot of worse players). And B) is not for an elite player. Elite Dmen are making 7+, and those are on old contracts. Going forward it's going to be 8+.
I think every GM in the league would take Dougie at his contract.
