He is an incredible goalie while he's on and would have looked good in a flaming C. That being said I am not sure he helps the Flames into the playoffs last season as he only played 46 games due to injury. Smith played 55 also due to injury.

The Flames absolutely would have made the playoffs with Fleury. Had he not taken a knee to the head like he did in Vegas. Not sure you can blame him for that one.
He’s a top 5-10 goalie in the league, every year, easily. Any goalie who can consistently put up ~ 9.20 save percentages for over a decade is a pretty safe bet to be your starting goaltender.
He has bad games, like every goalie. But he can also steal you several per year and in the playoffs. Which few can.
If this is the current value of a legitimate starting goalie now, this is a great contract.
