I love what Tanev has brought. The problem with the Flames blueline is the $'s sunk into it. Neither Rasmus nor Gio are earning their paychecks this season. That's an $11.3 million pairing.
Last year it was only Hamonic you could really say that about.
It's hard to lay all that at Treliving's feet. But fact is, not enough guys on this roster are playing to their salary and the GM doesn't seem to have been able to preemptively take action on much of anything. Now we see a roster slowly bleeding value in a number of places.
I miss the days when we could crow about how better off we were having Gaudreau and Monahan both for not much more than McDavid's money.
