I was kinda hoping for a 1 year for Vrbata.. a big issue is the questionable compete level.


Not for those dollars tho..

That's pricey for Vrbata. Glad it's not with the Flames for that contract.

So happy the Flames didn't go after him. That's quite a bit of money for him in my opinion.

How did Vrbata's last signing in the state of Florida work out?

Bad things. Perhaps they should have just hired a new G.M. instead of going back to Tallon. I would have even been happy with letting last year's team go at it with Boughner behind the bench.

Fun fact: Boughner autocorrects to "toughener". Seems appropriate.
