There is little doubt that he has been the best fit with Tanev, who would not be getting 5/6 minutes even strength, so I think he’d probably maintain his spot in the top 4.
Is anyone trying to explain away all of the Flames problems with injuries? I don’t think so. Not what I’m seeing at least.

I think you kind of evaded my point about competition.
Go back to the original point that started this discussion. One poster arguing Flames are doing as well as the Avs. Next poster suggests Flames have been far healthier than the Avs. Then original poster trots out OK.
If you want to compare Flames to the Avalanche and not acknowledge the difference in injuries they have faced then you’re not living in reality IMO.
I’m not assuming OK is in the top 4 on this team. Weegar sure as hell wasn’t signed to be a 5/6. So while unfortunate, I just don’t consider that a “significant injury” and little to do with how the arson has gone.
