The flaw in the premise is easy to spot, but also easy to remedy.

The goal here isn't to win games.

The goal is the win the Stanley Cup.

So what you really want to do is to add up how many Stanley Cup rings each player has. If you want to get all fancy and statistical you can see how many Stanley Cups each team has won with and without a given a given player.

If you want to win a Stanley Cup, you just need to collect players who have won Stanley Cups. That's the REAL reason the Flames acquired Bollig. Because he is measurably the best player on the Flames, by virtue of his recent Stanley Cup win.

MATH.
