Matthieu Perrault proves my point, not yours - that a guy the same age with roughly the same points is worth about $3M. So does Jussi Jokinen, who made a million more. So does Zuccarello - younger, about the same points, about the same money.
I see in your cherry picking you ignored Stalberg, who was signed the year before and the same age, position and salary. Less points.
So who should Treliving assumed was going to play in the 4 "soft spots"?

Soft spots are relatively easy to fill:
Hudler, Granlund, Gaudreau, Baertschi, Brodie, Rienhart were already in the system. Diaz was added in camp and must have been an option when Raymond was signed. If Butler and/or Derrick Smith were still Flames property or or Billins not in the KHL then Burke probably would not have let Treviling/Hartley sign Diaz.
