And in Leddy's case, he is young enough to warrant a package of a pick and prospect with Hayes attached (assuming they know full well he is not going to sign with them). So I disagree with you statement that folks are in fact dreaming.
This is the reality of CHI's situation.

I was clearly referring to the posters that basically suggested the Flames could get a Leddy or Oduya thrown in for free, in addition to Hayes for simply a second round pick.
Not happening. Most teams are looking at upgrades on defense. The Flames will be required to outbid those other teams to get such a player. The Flames will not be the only suiter, and because of the laws of supply and demand, the fact that this is a cap dump situation is almost completely irrelevant.
You always have to make the best bid to get quality players, cap dump or not. You are kidding yourself if you think the Flames are in the driver's seat on this one.
