I personally feel the deal is a little on the high side but not a big deal given the Flames current cap situation. He's solid if unspectacular and guys like that typically don't generate a lot of hype especially in a small market and had he played last season in a market like Toronto, Florida, or Dallas I'm sure he may have more notoriety. His age and size is definitely a plus which is why I'm not too worried about the contract.

The article provides some evidence that analytical types may not like the deal
I don’t see what information you were drawing from to suggest teams may feel the same. And yes I know you said “may” but you also said “pretty evident”
I guess I don’t understand the basis for that
