But as far as my reaction to extending him for another season I'm right there with you. The Flames get outplayed when he's on the ice and they get out-scored too. His 82 game +/- pace is -18, his possession numbers are worse than Dube or Ruzicka, and the penalty kill gives up more chances when he's on the ice than when he's off it (while still being a good penalty kill).
It's not a big deal to have him as a fourth line C or 13th forward, but I really think that a better player could be found for $1.3M or less.
