I totally disagree .... the reason the Flames are in this mess is because their scouting/drafting has been horrible for pretty much 20 years.
The problem is we havent had the good crop of young players to support the older and veteran free agents.
IMO, a winning team is comprised of both those older "purchased" players, and (more importantly) good young players coming up through the ranks.
So, I still hope they can lure free agents here without Iginla. As we deepen with young players, it'll become a more desirable place to come play as there will be upside. The roster, and the young players, will always be able to benefit from good free agent signings.
