Always got time for Nathan Horton

The Panthers have signed Nathan Horton to a 6-year $24 million deal today. The final 3 years of his contract contain a no-trade clause. The 22-year-old center had a career year last season, scoring 31 goals and 62 points in 82 games. That is also the most games he has played in a season in his short career. He had been injury prone in the previous 2 seasons.
I'm liking this deal if Horton stays healthy and continually improves. The $4 million per season could turn out to be a bargain down the road.
He sure is streaky though....
