I really, really think this and the Hyman deal are going to age really badly. Fair money for today though... But I believe they're 28 and 29 and they both play quite physical games and I'm already concerned re Hyman's knee.
I don't understand why players don't just sign in Tampa for 1-2 years at League minimum. You have a decent chance at winning a Cup, and then afterwards, you can sign a contract like this.
I love Blake and he was an integral part of 2 Cups. This is an astonishing waste of $15M over the last 3 years of this contract. This makes the Hyman deal look like the deal of the century.
I bet the Coleman deal is bought out before the Hyman deal.
As a down bad Oilers fan I want a Flames fan to take me up on this. Loser donates $100 to a kids charity and they change their profile pic and bio to support the other team for a calendar year.
