You are missing the point of my post. I see posts that fans aren't keen on overpaying Gaudreau which makes no sense as he's the best player on the team and only difference maker in the organization. Meanwhile there are a lot of people on this forum defending the Coleman contract which is a repeat on the Brouwer and Neal free agency mistakes. Don't get me wrong, he's a good depth player but doesn't move the needle at all. The Flames record this season would not be any different with or without him. The Leafs and Lightning haven't missed Hyman or Coleman at all. They just keep winning on shoulders of their difference makers. Difference makers are well worth the overpayment in a league where GM's just can't help themselves when it comes to overpaying for depth and leadership.
