You don’t have to “take it away” but you should consider that in the full context of offering him $72mm carrying him into his mid to late 30s over 8 years and exiting a season with a notably worse performance than the one when those players were on his line. Because, you know, those players don’t play here anymore.
Seems kinda obvious to pay for anticipated future performance, which was my point you all intentionally missed in your eagerness to defend everything Flames, otherwise why not go offer Wayne Gretzky a contract?
