Agree on all but Markstrom, whom I think is earning his cheque right now. He's had issues, but has also won and played well at other times. Not much different than any goalie.

TBH even Mangiapane isn't as bad as most fans on CP would have you believe.
Among forwards At 5v5:
Points: 14 (3rd)
Goals: 4 (4th)
xGF: 54.4% (6th)
HDCF: 57.5% (3rd)
On pace for 42 points which isn't ideal but he's played limited second unit PP minutes and has 1 PP point...which really limits the upper end of his production. And really 42 points for $5.8M isn't the end of the world.
And he's also changed his style of play to fit with Lindholm and Sharangovich...went from being primary finisher with Backlund and Coleman to now being more of a playmaker with Lindholm and Sharangovich.
(Side note the NHL leader in PP points has 24 points...the Flames as a team have 11 PP goals, and Lindholm leads with 4 points).
