I like the prospect of having a fan favourite veteran on a young team during a cup run. Jarome would take a lot of the media attention and be a fun rallying point for fans, allowing the young guys to focus on the game with less scrutiny. Also, the energy that would be provided by any Jarome goals in the playoffs would be great emotional lifts during home games. You just can't get those kinds of things without a player who brings a certain kind of history, and Jarome is the guy who could bring that kind of history with the Flames.
I see way more upside to it than downside.
