The flames are paying a guy 5 million bucks to score 0 goals whereas other teams are paying guys 5 million bucks to score 20-40 goals.
The reason the flames can't score goals is partially because they don't have enough goal scorers, because they are paying close to 10 million bucks to guys who either can't score or who don't even play for the Flames anymore.
That's what 6 years of Treliving has brought thus far. 31st in goal scoring rate, 27th in actual goal scoring.

Don't think anyone is debating that.
But the problem started with the Neal contract, not with the Lucic contract. Once you have a black hole in your cap you can either live with it or move it for a better fit.
Ideally you have neither.
The team was 2nd in goal scoring last year, not sure a quarter of this season rubs that out.
