How can you say his agent overrated him by trying to get a better deal? He had no rights hence the low contract but the guy provided 15 goals and 28 points at even strength for less than 1% of the cap. He was clearly worth more than 715 k

Obviously the Flames weren't willing to take that bet that he was better than 715k and rightfully so. The fact that they had zero negotiation power and were still willing to hold out was stupid.
As I said, I dont think he sucks, I think he is over rated. Much like the grand mythos of Micheal Ferland. I'll stand by that and it doesn't really matter anyways, he either signs a good deal or is dealt or he gets what the arbitrator awards him. No skin off my teeth.
