Salary isn’t relevant to performance unless you’re measuring value for dollars, which is not what this exercise appears to be about.

It’s especially silly when you consider how much cap space the Flames are sitting on. What guys are making this season, outside of discussions regarding their trade value and who can afford them, is totally irrelevant.
Cap space can never be irrelevant when evaluating NHL players considering the cap is an unavoidable part of team building in my opinion. I think all players should be measured against their salary but I am not going to attempt to provide my grades for each player. I just take a bit of issue giving a guy paid to be a 90+point play driver a high grade because he has been a F for the first 2 years and he is playing better in year 3.

People can give $10.5M Huberdeau A’s and B’s all they want for pacing for 62pts. I just find it hilarious.
