Seems solid enough for the Jets.
I think a lot of other teams fanbases were kind of overrating him as they penciled him into half the lineups in the league. He's always struck me as a fairly innocuous player, and pretty much the epitome of a #4 type Top-4D who gets pushed up in role/minutes because he happens to be a RHS.
So this is probably a little more than i'd want to pay him in a vacuum...but remains to be seen just how bonkers this Free Agent Frenzy gets for defencemen. And the fact remains...he's a RHD and those are extra coveted. So keeping a UFA that wants to be in Winnipeg, with that organization, and has shown he can play minutes with their #1D is tidy business for the Jets. So good for them.
I have a feeling that as other UFA deals roll in, i'm going to adjust to the idea that a maybe $500-900k overpayment is nothing.
