You need guys like Ferland in the playoffs, but you can't be paying them $5,000,000.

Sucks that the Flames missed out on Reaves in the Summer. He's a more physical but less skilled Ferland but they bring the same thing to your team.

Reaves is on pace for about 10 goals and he's getting paid at $2,750,000. There's a premium there for also being the toughest guy in the league.

At most, Ferland should be worth about $3,500,000, but he's going to get way more than that.

Flames should look for something closer to what Reaves is. Less skilled but can skate well enough and throw his body around and also fight. Not sure there's anyone like that around. Brett Ritchie might be an option.
