I still Enoch has it right ... you don't overpay for anyone.

And every 100K counts. It's so easy to say what's 500K on a 8M contract, but in the end that's the same 500K that may be given away on a 1M contract. It adds up.

If you get everyone on fair contracts the effects will be noticed down the road.

If you've hired people that don't know what "fair" is, or purposely low ball every player than you have another problem.

But I think the Monahan contract proves the Flames are at market. If I had to bet on one side or the other right now I'd say that Gaudreau's camp isn't.

The team and the GM have to wait until they move into that range.
