However the Flames needed to do something. You couldn't go into the year with Frolik and Chiasson as your only RW.
Ideally it would have been a 3 X 4 contract, but UFA premiums. At least both he and Frolik end at the same time, which will be important as by then the Flames should have some internal options pushing for spots.

He's not going to be very effective in year one. If he can't produce on a line with Ovechkin and Backstrom then he won't be the magical missing RW for the Flames either. And at 4.5 million to boot we just flushed a load of cap space to become "heavy" whatever the hell that means.
Outdated tunnel vision crap.
