Well, it wasn't unexpected. The rumors earlier in the season were the deals to Toronto, so maybe where there was some smoke there was some interest in going there. If I'm being fair the guy is a borderline 1st pairing dman. In a year were D are at a premium, I can see why he was paid what he was paid, but it's a little much for essentially a second pairing dman. That's not to say he didn't sign for what he was worth, but on the Flames I don't think they could go there, and I'm frankly a little surprised the Leafs were able to. Oh well, I hope he is thick skinned because his giveaways will certainly be harped on a little bit.
