I never said you needed a cap friendly deal to sign Gaudreau, Monahan, Bennett etc.
My point was a cap friendly deal would help the Flames out immensely given their upcoming contracts.
Just because Treliving signed some defenceman to large contracts doesn't make getting players on cap friendly deals moot, in fact it makes it more important than ever.
