I understand the trepidation with any FA signing, especially for a physical winger over 30 who isn't purely skilled. However, I think people will realize that this is a perfect complimentary piece to make this team much more difficult to play against next year. Along with a guy like Chiasson, possibly Hathaway, a healthy Bouma etc.
Flames will be fast and skilled, along with a healthy dose of effective grinder type players. I am really liking the composition of this team heading into next year.
Brad Treliving has done a wonderful job so far filling the obvious gaps on this team. This is going to be a pretty fun team to watch this year, and should be in the playoff mix without much trouble.
