This so much.
If you're going to do the term thing for a depth player, it better for be a player whose value exceeds their pay (like Schlemko in San Jose or Kruger in Chicago) not someone whose value will likely struggle to live up to their pay (i.e. most non-core contracts Treliving has signed along with the extension they reportedly offered Russell before he declined).
It's just business, you have to pay your stars and everyone else has to overperform their contract.
On a more positive note,
Still a
classic Flames playoff moment.
