In a thread titled anemic offense where the flames scored one goal, in a series where each game has essentially been a 1 goal game, the difference between the flames winning and losing is basically not having a legit top 6 player who would be making between 5-7 million.
Lucic has been good but the cap allocation of this team is what will be the eventual downfall.
Brandon Saad at 6 mil on this roster probably makes Geoff Ward look like a great coach.
