For those still complaining about Engellands contract! Is he overpaid? Absolutely.I like Engelland more than most around here. Era of the goon is gone, loved McGrattan but he is no longer an NHL player. Engelland is a tough sob who can take a regular shift. Yes I do hate all the icing plays he makes. I hated Chris Butler coughing up the puck all the time too. Yet Engelland can add so much more to the team if needed on any given night. Supposedly a great locker room presence too. Overpaid? Absolutely! Yet at the time of the signing the Flames were trying to reach the cap floor. Maybe we should of traded for Pronger or Horton lol!Treliving does not get a pass for this contract, nor does he get a pass for the Raymond Backlund Ramo and Stajan contracts. Yet to be honest who knew the Flames young guys would take roster spots and turn into stars? Stars we have to pay sooner than expected.Treliving had a solid plan, young guys upset that plan a year to early.
