I agree with the post that said it doesn't make any sense to trade for a player that already has a huge contract or will have one soon if the Flames are going to be bad for the next few years.
Stay away from the huge contracts, build up the organization with good, young, cheap players and then when the team can compete in 3,4,5 years you look at something like this.
Now is not the time to pick up a guy like Letang.
