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"?

WHAT!!! Stempniak was coming off a 19 minute/game as a top 6 guy with the Flames where he got traded to the the Pens for their playoff run. He had 12 goalks and 34 pts.... not that far from what mason had. ... the year before he lead the frickin Flames in scoring..
I hated Stempniak as a Flame because having a crappy 3rd line filler like him playing top 6 minutes meant the team had no chance to be better or competitive.
now the Flames are being held back by Raymond. If somehow Raymond is still getting ice time with next years Flames it will be a really really really bad sign..
You honestly don't see the difference in Perreault and Raymond ???? Take a minute or 2 and watch them play a period or 2 of hockey.
>>>>> Sorry I am done here..... Sorry Gioforpm I came to realize you are probably Mr. Raymond's Mom or relative and would not be as brutally frank with you in person..... But then the $20 million USD that Mason has earned over his career must make up for a lot of hurt feelings.
I understand he is a very nice polite guy who is fun to hang around with
