76M...just about an entire years salary cap....for a winger.
Would have probably had to be more to sign in Calgary to make the take home more equal.
He would have helped this team in an area that isn't a problem at this point offensively, and in an area it could use some help in team defense.
All at the cost of what looks to be Gio's replacement, another roster player and yes another 1st rd pick since the Flames don't hold a 2nd.
So glad he isn't a Flame today as the cost and what he would do to the salary structure and possible chemistry of the team would have been atrocious.
Or maybe he becomes Gordie Howe part 2, because that is what would be needed to make it worthwhile.
