The Flames spread out their ice time more evenly with the 3 pairs last year. Not having any highly paid individuals did permit that to an extent. Still the third pair was used pretty much to perfection by Sutter. Try and squeeze a bit more out of Zadorov and it could change the perception on him. Teams with 1-2 ELCs or bridge deals in the top 4 can afford a luxury #5 like Zadorov...but usually not for 4 straight years.
