Now I'm not suggesting he was ever worth $8 million, but let's not lose sight that Flames only bought one UFA year. If BT had kept him under $7 on a 7 or 8 year deal I'd be throwing rose petals at his feet. With his current deal, I would call it a draw. About even for both sides.
I'm confused, would this be in some sort of attempt to make BT slip or something?
