And even then, his very best year was as a solid third-pairing defenceman; at his worst, he hasn't played at an NHL level. Maybe he can recapture that magic if he comes to Calgary again. But for now, that deal is an anchor and one of the very worst in the NHL. I don't think Columbus would be able to move it for free.
I agree with your assessment of Gudbranson's career.

I would trade $12 million of cap and real money for two Columbus first round picks. Getting Gudbranson for 3 years on top of it would just be icing on the cake.
