Flames didn't overpay for Bouma. But whatever.

I listened to Vollman talk about this on the FAN yesterday. First of all, he did mention several times that there really weren't ANY horrible contracts this year.

He talked about how term was far more dangerous than money and it was term that gets teams in trouble. Then he talked about the 3rd worst contract being Ramo's $3.8M and never mentioned that it was only one year.

I agree that $3.8M was too much for Ramo.

But if that is the worst FA signing we see here, the Flames are in good hands.
