The buyout is ancient history. They signed a defenseman for league minimum and from that perspective, it is a low risk move. Of course there is always risk in deciding which players you will sign, and whether you chose the best option.
He admitted on 960 right now that he was not playing well before being injured and obviously there's a reason he wasn't getting much interest but he's also a Calgary boy who is happy to stay here.
I wish him well and it's not like I know enough about other depth defensemen available to really have an opinion on how good a signing this is. The price is right.
