Hope they were out of the running on Niskanen before pulling this deal. Really not much of an improvement on Butler.
Still hope they make an offer to Del Zotto.

Double the market salary, but we need to hit the floor.
The paygrade, doesn't affect any of our blooming defensemen, in Brodie & Russel, nor Giordano, so ultimately the numbers are inconsequential. (all 3 are different types of Defensemen than Engelland)
Like the player, ok with the signing.

Well this doesn't fit in with the other prudent signings by the Flames today. I'm very surprised by this one.

Well, the floor won't be an issue for the next couple years. I think this is a horrible contract.

Dont see why anyone cares about the contract value... He'll be done by the time it matters. Would have preferred a 2 year term, but 3 is bearable.

While I agree to an extent, the price tag makes it a little more difficult to trade him in the future.

We just went from having one of the best FA days to one of the dumbest.
Doesn't make sense, we were already at the floor?

Pinder just said 10 teams were courting him... so I guess we had to overpay.

I wouldn't say an upgrade on Butler. An upgrade on SOB instead.

Worst contract of the day. He made $575k last year and this contract is more than his career earnings.
Welcome to the Jeff Finger contract...
