It's a lot, and it isn't sustainable but I think the Flames get away with it because our second line centre is on his entry level contract still.

As the lines are right now it's

$13,925,000
$6,375,000
$8,800,000
$6,150,000

I think it is planned to spread out talent so I am not surprised at the distribution. Redistribute 12M from D next year should shore things up a bit but I don't expect Stajan and Bouma to continue with those contracts when the team is competeting for real.
