Eh, I wasn’t a huge fan of his game like some folks here. His availability was a concern as was how he would rebound after that much time off in terms of playing a full regular season. Common sense would say that a 1Y prove it deal would be fair for both sides. However, based on media reporting it sounds like a 4Y deal was on the table from possibly the Capitals (which was then revoked). Flames wisely did not match and moved on. I wish him well but I sadly feel like this is probably his last NHL contract before heading back to Sweden.
