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.

I would agree with you completely except Feaster outright said they weren't interested in taking on other team's dead weight in one of his interviews yesterday (either the press conference or the Fan960 interview).
I agree that cap space can be very valuable to a rebuild and actually suggested to some friends that this is what they should look at doing. Acquire some guys like Briere that help a team free up some cap space, take a 2nd rounder back, and have decent NHL veteran to fill out the roster. But Feaster outright said that he isn't looking to do this so until it happens I'm assuming the Flames won't.
