Seems like paying the guy at his peak value... but he has improved a lot.

Hes been getting better every year imo.. Hes also developing a mean streak. In the Erat thread I was gonna say that I hope the Flames use a couple assets to move for him. But for that kind of term, I dunno... The price could be a steal in a few years if he continues to get better.
