2 plus years ago, those players looked like steals on their current contracts. Since then, on their 3rd coach, they have been extremely disappointing.
Would you have traded them after the playoff loss to the AVs?

You can add Backlund, Lucic, Giordano and possibly Anderson to that list. Upwards of nearly 50 percent of your team salaries are very difficult to move. It would be hard to find another team that has as much salary space that is difficult to move as Calgary has.
The good news is that in 2-3 years we clear out that cap space. This team is in a similar situation with the cap as in 2010, so we have been here before.
