Too expensive for us by like 2 mill. Can see why Tre backed off from this one.

Holy crap. Flames were probably offering $2.5.

Glad Flames did not sign this guy. $4M+ is a lot of money and we don't want to get stuck with another old guy with big salary.

Williams is hardly on the decline. Don't think his age plays into things.

If I count right, and I don't normally, 3.5 is the Flames absolute max to spend on a vet RW.
Wouldn't have minded 2y for Williams, but wasn't willing to go more than a year for many else. Conn Smythe is a bit of a tie breaker.
At this point it's Jagr or nobody.
