So now you fix it for one year, but then potentially have a much bigger long term problem.
It's like the Suter buyout? Why? He's still in your top four. So you fix one year and then quietly watch the league for four more?

And they missed adding a pretty good prospect to continue to build.
I think they've now leaped-frogged the Flames in terms of erroring to try and contend now.
Though I'm not going to pretend that Garland isn't a nice piece that gives them some elements in their forward group that will help.
But that OEL deal - good grief.
