Might be trying to find the silver lining but increasingly I don't think committing 8*10.5 to this player was going to put the Flames in position to win a Cup. At some point that contract was going to be a hinderance
Near-term it puts them further away.
Long-term if handled correctly it could put them closer.
And yes this is where people can rightly point out "but yeah what are the chances the Flames make the right decisions to improve their long-term chances".
But since I've said, you don't have to.
