For the signing itself, the Flames had 3 choices:

Sign him to this contract;
Trade him at the deadline and undermine the team's core this season (and probably next if you get back picks and maybe a prospect); or
Keep him for the remainder of the season and lose him for nothing in the offseason.

For those who don't like the deal, which other option do you opt for?
