He owes Sutter 50% of that money.

I said it when Calgary signed him that he isn't as bad as his rep is. He's just an old school, stay-at-home D who were valued a ton before the analytics era but since have almost disappeared from the scene. The only place where he truly sucked was in Vancouver, he was fine in Pittsburgh and Anaheim (and Florida).
But yeah this contract is a big one for him, a million too high and a year too long. Pretty much standard UFA overpayment.
