It is pretty hard to find an example where any team has tied up so much cap space for so long for so little.
Flames 2019-20
Gaudreau Monahan Frolik Brouwer Gio Hamilton Brodie
7 players accounting for half the cap allowed.
Really hard to see who can be added to this non-playoff core better than Backlund/Elliott/Bennett/Tkachuck/Engelland that will make this a playoff team.
Flames went all in on Gio Hamilton, Monahan, Gaudreau ..... right now it would seem that the realization of how long shot of these bets were.
