I think this COULD be a good contract and is a not unreasonable gamble for him. He has been a 15-20 goal guy and high 30 points. He is physical, is surprisingly competent in the dot and a good two way player. It could be somewhat akin to nichuskin in the physical 3rd liner (in nichuskins case more of a failed top 6 or even 4th liner when signed) that with more opportunity can blossom.
All that being said I think it's a bad move for COLORADO. Their cap is too tight to take this gamble. They are better off taking gambles around 1 mil, like nichuskin and seeing if they pan out. A team with cap to burn for now can take these gambles.
