I still think the Flames will finish with a top ten pick but there's no way. absolutely no way they can tank all the way down to the bottom of the standings even letting it happen naturally. At some point you're still going to have to sign or trade for some players either for the farm or the main club.
I like a Loktionov type signing because he may be a fringe NHL'er right now, but he's a 24 year old fringe NHL player right now. same ballpark as Reinhart or Knight. A zero risk medium reward signing. and plugs a hole where there is one right now and you can sell the chance of opportunity.
I wouldn't be too sure about a guy like Brodziak though, McClement is a face off guy isn't he? In the same vein as a Malholtra? I mean is the cost isn't too much why not. Bolstering depth is never a bad thing.

Sorry, meant 10 years, on phone and must have it the 2 instead of 1.
