Really hoping the Flames are looking at signing Zary longterm this offseason. If you can get him anywhere around 4 million a year on a 8 year deal you do it. Not sure what the number is for Coronato right now but next offseason they should sign him to a long term contract. The advantages the Flames have a should have is a bunch of young players that hopefully hey can sign to what will be team friendly contracts in the outlying years. 29 year old dmen do not really fit into that model.

I agree with you, but I believe some posters were saying it's a knock on the GM to get good deals on contracts for their players and they shouldn't do that (lol) because players get "mad". But yes, ink Zary longterm for what will hopefully be a steal in 3 years.
