Good deal. Love the term. This locks up the core for the current window and lets the Flames re-evaluate in a few years when, god forbid, our ageless wonder Gio might not be so ageless.
Sure 6-8 years would have resulted in a great cap hit in years 5-8 but the cap hit in years 1-3 would have really hurt their ability to compete now. A lot can change in 6-8 years. Remember when Iginla was still on the team?
