Thank you, Elias!
He was ancient at 28.

Now, he also blew it by underperforming so badly in Vancouver. But a 70 point average guy at 28 makes what the Flames offered, and it would have been a market deal (which they could still have moved). That's the NHL today. Horvat signed for that amount at that same time IIRC. And he's never cracked 70 points.
