If the players did not accept similar contracts, then the Flames had no obligation to sign the C-list players to big contracts.
So, their GMs acquired them is what you're saying. Our GM isn't held to any sort of real standard.

Goes back to what I said earlier. Lack of assets. They don't have the assets to make many deals like that

But I'm sure there will be some spin about how the only thing I am looking at is stats, and Brouwer is some defensive selke candidate (who is somehow on the ice for most of the goals against, by no fault of his own of course)
As for effort, we'll just have to agree to disagree. Other than a little stretch around that Panthers road game, I didn't really take issue with Hudler's effort. Look at his effort during Bennett's 4 goal game, we don't have a player on roster that could do those things.
Hudler is making almost nothing dollarswise.

Agree to disagree. I thought he was awful last season. One of the worst efforts I've ever seen. I would not want him back for the cap minimum
