Go after the top college UFAs and guarantee them roster spots as soon as they can sign.

Then you go an throw lotsa money on a Perry-Weiss combo this off-season and see if they want to come here. If they great if not, look at Filpulla-Horton. There will be ton of money saved up. Bring back Iggy if he doesn't re-sign with the new team.

This doesn't even need to take more then one off-season.
That's the frustrating part of all of this.

It's like someone has a 5 dollar bill, and you say to them if you give it to me, I'll give you change for the 5 and after a short period of time, we'll give you another 5 dollar bill as well.

The Flames currently are saying no, we'll keep our 5 dollar bill thank you very much, even though they could double their assets by just doing the most common sense thing possible (exchanging current guys for prospects, and then using their cap hits on UFA's)
