That's not the way I have been reading things, at least, not here on CP. I see a lot of posters keen for the Flames to do what they can to remain competitive without sacrificing the future. I have seen some posters point out that with the enormous amount of cap space to fill heading into this season that the team will NEED to spend big this summer, but should also be cautious about long term commitments to UFAs. There is no reason why the Flames can't continue to exercise patience with their young prospects, and simultaneously cobble together a series of stop-gaps which may include some "elite level" talent in the interim.
