Anyway make sense or not, I can’t remember too many times he actually was the major factor in the team winning. That’s not good for being the 3rd highest paid fwd. Poposil actually had more impact than him. Think about that ?
That’s because the Flames have more than a couple of forwards who are outperforming their contract. That’s why you have to look at contracts in context of the league and include both players who are outperforming and underperforming against their salary.

If you take away context and just say “he’s 7th! not good enough for his salary! meep!” you can just as easily say he’s outperforming the highest paid player, so he must be doing good.
