Flames can't afford to go shopping for a RW. They have some cap issues on the horizon that they will need to deal with themselves. They can't afford to go after a big time UFA and make the type of commitment in dollars or term that will be expected. Sucks, but that is the way it is when you have three young studs like Gaudreau and Monahan needing new contracts next season, and then Bennett in two years. Big dollars going out that eat up the cap space up front.
