The 13 team NTC may become an issue, but not an impediment to making a significant deal should the team move in another direction.
The last two years being able to be bought out is perfection. Glad that part was sorted out. You can't give guaranteed money to players over 35.

If he can perform for the first 4 years it is a good contract. When he slows down on the backend of the contract the Flames could keep him if they are rebuilding or buy him out after year 5 for a 2.3 million cap hit for years 6-9 of the contract.
