That's without even getting into things like the concept of marginal value.

That just shows you how thin of a margin there is between winning and losing in this league. A team has to be more than just several good players. It has to be a team that’s more than the sum of it’s parts. A team where players outperform their contracts and the team exceeds expectations.
Flames fans, myself included, are just afraid of being consistently average. Just good enough to prevent the team from taking a step to become great. That said last season was one of the most exciting seasons I can remember, and how many of us were optimistic going into it with Zadorov and Gudbranson?!
