When the Flames signed Dillon Dube to a three-year contract at $2.3 million per last week, it seemed on the surface like a fair deal for both sides. Despite having yet to play a full “normal” NHL season, there’s plenty to suggest Dube is trending towards being a core piece for Calgary. That said, he’s not there yet, which presents risk for the team on a three-year term. All things considered, both sides did a nice job finding middle ground.
For the team
You could make the argument a $2.3 million cap hit for solely the coming season is slightly steep for Dube.
