I think his game really came around this past season. Unless we are worried about the number of contracts going forward I don't see it as much of a gamble. Low ball him and just see exactly what's there. I don't know, he really didn't seem to have many weaknesses in his game other than size. Will admit I haven't obviously seen him as much as the Flames organization but when I did he didn't dissappoint me in any way.
Maybe the drafting of Andersson and Killington, both smaller sized but uber skilled, shut the door within the Franchise for other smaller dmen?
