I think if the Flames are properly compensated it is exactly what they should be doing. That one website that estimates the value of taking on contracts has eating Palat’s 18 million bucks being worth a 11th overall pick. There are more than enough bad contracts out there for the Flames to eat. I would rather see what Carolina would add to rid themselves of Orlov’s contract or if the Jets would give up anything to rid themselves of Nate Schmidt before I took on the Palat contract.
Palat had 31 points last year and the year before he was on pace for 38 points. He is fast approaching the Milan Lucic stage of his career.
