It's not a bad take, is Bahl that good or did the Flames just not have enough quality d to push him down the lineup. But I disagree that you can't have a $5.35 mil dman on your bottom pairing. Cap is going to $113 mil in 2 years, but it's a bit unknown what it does after that. Extra regular season games, world cup coming. I highly doubt the cap stays flat after year 2 of this contract.
Long term deals now will look very good in a year or 2.
Bahl getting 6 years makes sense too for him. He will be 31 and D like him probably don't get more than 4 years if he signed for 8 years and the contract expired at 33.
