That’s just strictly on the ice, not even looking at their contracts.

You’re seeing highlight reel goals because they are on the highlight reel. Montreal has room for him. But I just don’t think his game is as good as any of Calgary’s save for maybe Bennett or Leivo. Not Ritchie because he fills a need. Not Lucic because he’s just better in more areas of the game. The team right now is gelling and I’d hate to throw it out over a 35 year old guy who no one wanted.
