He hasn't been much of a factor this season and I don't see him getting markedly better with age. I would be pretty happy if we could get two 20 goal seasons out of the contract but I'm not sure that's how you want to spend $16 million. It's not the worst contract ever but IMO it was unnecessary as he doesn't have a high skill upside and doesn't really fill the holes the team needed which was skill on the wings. He's not a replacement for what they were getting out of Hudler a few seasons ago and that's what the Flames are missing today. Don't get me started on Chiasson who inexplicably has become a fixture in the top 6.
