Well, that's not true. That extra cap space can easily be used later on to bring in a bad contract and a draft pick our way.
I think some of you need to accept there are several ways to do the same thing, several ways to rebuild a team and just because the Flames are whoever don't do it exactly as you wish, exactly as you had it in your head, step-by-step, it's wrong.
Extra cap space going forward seems to be extremely valuable. If the Flames use that cap space to bring back a 2nd round pick the way Kotalik did for the Sabres then it flies directly in the face of what you just said.
