The bolded part of your post is the best way for the flames to acquire more assets. If ownership is willing, i would be quite happy.
Still think the players that are being bought out, will be "post apex" players, that probably will not want to come to Calgary. Probably should not have said "post apex" players like its a bad thing. If Cammi and Tanguay are traded the flames might need to pick up an older vet.
