Even if the Flyers ate 50% of JVR's cap hit, this is still a lousy deal for the Flames.
While they're at it, why not propose that the Flames trade Gaudreau to Edmonton for James Neal. I mean, he has a longer contract remaining than Gaudreau, so it would be better to take on that contract than to let Gaudreau walk in 2 years for nothing, right?
