I just hope Treliving's experience with Brouwer and Neal has taught him to exercise caution in signing 30+ year old UFA's to >2-3 year contracts. I was worried by the length of the contract to Giordano when he was a pnding UFA, but that was a player the Flames knew well, and even if his play tails off in the next 3 years, i think it was worth it. I still worry a little about Derek Ryan he turns 33 this year and has 2 more years, but at least he played well this season
