He's easily playing up to his contract in my mind.

When looking at building a contending team going forward the Flames have too much money tied up in bottom players (only for the next 1-2 years).
Engellend, Smid, Wideman are the 5-7 Dmen making $11.65M against the cap next year. tack on Raymond, Stajan, Backlund, Bollig that is nearly $25M in cap space taken up by players that are not top6 forwards or top4 D.
Now I'm not suggest No all of those guys go but at least one of those Dmen and one of Backlund/Stajan and both of Bollig and Raymond will hopefully be moved.
If the Flames can free up some money they have the ability to sign Monahan, Gaudreau and get a better goalie. They also might have some money to replace Hudler
