For those saying this is a great deal for Caufield, I'm glad it's settled right now and we don't have to wait to se how the next 8 seasons go lol
You can get upset and throw in as many lol's as you want but that doesn't mean they're wrong. The Habs bought into a young (American) player they believe in, the Flames didn't with theirs, simple as that. It wasn't fait accompli that Tkachuk was leaving, that's just an excuse for a poor GM and a way for fans to cope.
