Identify your best players then pay them instead of losing them for nothing or getting 30 cents on the dollar. The Flames are terrible for this.

And what happens if he continues his disinterested play and becomes one of those middle-six forwards on a long-term deal? That's the whole point. Pay the guys that ARE going to produce all the time, and at a high level. If you're only getting 65 points out a Matthew Tkachuk, you may want to spend your money elsewhere.
