Signing before doing his "look around" in the city is interesting. Maybe he remembers Calgary better than he described in that initial interview.
Brad must've charmed, indeed.
This honestly makes sense with the Flames insiders hinting and no one else. Brad has been on a roll with his signings lately too.
I feel like 8 years is 2 years too long.
37 is pretty late in the game for any player. Usually NHL stars are still useful in their roles until 35, but it's a real toss up beyond that.
Might'be been the price to keep him long term. Hoping it's closer to 9AAV than 10.
