That's where the rub comes in.

Yeah Weegar is incredible. Just a great all around player. The Flames looked like legit contenders last night. They got one monkey off their back by winning a home opener. Hopefully, they smack down the Oilers and avenge that playoffs loss.

Except you don't know how that contract will age. Playmakers age more gracefully and the cap is going to be at least 100m in 5 years. By then, he's 10% of the cap. Only way that's an anchor is if he's a 45-55 point player at that point. That is not a bet I'd be willing to take. He's much more likely to age like Ray Whitney than anything IMO
