I agree that the Flames have kind of a 1 year 'mini window', and would be very happy to see them take advantage of it. Particularly by acquiring some 1 year contracts.
Offer some UFAs big overpays on one-year deals. Bring in an overpaid vet with a big cap hit, but only one season left. I'm thinking someone like Kevin Bieksa (but not Bieksa).
The total cost would probably be a few late picks, and just like last year, I'm OK with moving some scratch cards to get the young players some playoff experience.
