Why are we comparing Monahan to first ballot HOF players?

Monahan is the 90th highest paid player in the NHL. That means he is either paid to be the worst 3rd best player in the league for a team or the best 4th best player. (Assuming equal distribution of players vs pay to all the teams)

This is the issue with the Flames. People expect Monny and JG to be 2 superstars driving the team when in reality they should be the 3rd and 4th best players on the team dictated by their pay.

MT is our highest payed played at 68th overall.

The Flames do not have any players paid like a top 2 for a team. And that is our biggest issue. We do not have the top end talent AND we do not have 3/4th line
depth.

Were not top heavy OR deep. It is a horrendously constructed team when looking at where money is spent.
