I respectfully disagree. If the Flames are not confident in Wotherspoon or Kulak then there is a need for a #7. You also can't focus too much on a good player being a number #7 because in the grand scheme of a season the #7 plays quite a bit. Last year 70 games were played by defensemen outside of the regular top 6 for the Flames, the year prior to that is was 63. Seeing the #7 play 50+ games is a likely possibility.
