The Flames don't need to risk the room bringing in an enigmatic offensive player like Semin.

They need to get bigger and harder to play against. They don't need to try and score more gaols at the expense of everything they have built so far.
Can't look at it that way. Oilers added McDavid. Ducks added Hagelin. Kings added Lucic. Sharks added Martin. Plus their young players are a year old too. Canucks and Coyots suck.

I don't see anything wrong with adding Semin on a 1 year cheap deal. He was great in Washington. His first year in Carolina was solid as well, leading to a big extension. He adds skill and is a big body (doesn't play big but still not easy to knock off the puck) and a right hand shot.

Gaudreau-Monahan-Hudler
Frolik-Backlund-Semin

looks better then what we have right now.
