This is nuts.

The Maple Leafs are paying $167,635,000 over the next five years on three forwards. That is $33.5 m per year for three forwards for the next five years.

To put that into perspective, the Flames are paying $15.5 m for the only three players they have under contract for the next five years—a top-line forward, their #2 centre, and a 22-year-old #3/4 defenseman.

For the same money that Toronto is paying their top-three forwards this year the Flames can afford their entire top line, their reigning Norris trophy defenseman, and will still have money left over to pay their budding star left winger on a long-term deal with room to spare.
