Yes, we can agree there. But that's a ways away yet. Havlat gets the Flames through next season, after that they can find another replacement via Poirier or another cheap trade target. Richards will help make the team better for a few years until the Knight's or Jankowski's or 2014 4th pick are ready to go.
The cap implications are also helpful.
Let's face it, they can improve this year with trades like these but they won't become instant contenders overnight. it's a process. As long as they don't get all weird like the Spezza offer I'm cool with whatever they can drum up in trades.
