The number of playoff games a player has been in depends above all on the quality of teams he's been on. It is not a measurement of his individual ability. Brandon Bollig has his name on the Stanley Cup; Mark Scheifele doesn't (and has only played in 4 playoff games to boot). Only a complete fool would think that makes Bollig a better player than Scheifele.

I don't have a schtick. You're the one who goes into thread after thread and derails them with the same old garbage.

So you wouldn't consider 3.75M money well spent if the Flames could trade Gio for Toews tomorrow?

No. A top-pairing defenceman is worth $6-7m. Nobody is worth $10.5m unless he's in the Art Ross conversation year after year. The Hawks overpaid on the incorrect assumption that the cap was bound to continue increasing rapidly.
