It's important the Flames stop sheltering him and give him 2/3rds of the remaining games. Not only for them to have a chance at the playoffs, but to get a solid read on the type of contract they will be comfortable giving him this off-season. I know he has one year left on his deal but the Flames should be looking at giving him a 8 year deal July 1st. If he gets the Flames in the playoffs the contract will be $8 million/yr minimum.
