Michael Ferland: 1.09 $.825M

Matt Stajan: 0.88 $3.125M
Mason Raymond: 0.84 $3.15M
Brandon Bolig: 0.64 $1.25M
Lance Bouma: 0.45 $2.2M

Now here's Chicago's:

Dale Weise: 1.94 (new)
Teuvo Teravainen: 1.67 $.895M
Tomas Fleischmann: 1.35 (new)
Dennis Rasmussen: 1.28 $.575M
Richard Panik: 1.28 $.975M
Andrew Desjardins: 0.68 $.8M
Bryan Bickell: 0.54 $3.05M
Marcus Kruger: 0.14 $1.5M

It seems that one of the main differences in terms of forward production is that the third liner on Chicago have much more consistent production. Their third line forwards are 30 point guys, while ours are 10 point guys.

Luckily, if Treliving is smart with contracts, I think this could be relatively easy to solve over time.
Added cap hits to those players in your posts who are not just rentals.
Flames average $2.1M
Chicago average $1.3M

It adds up. If the Flames paid less for bottom end players they could afford to go after another top-end player.
