Just so I understand correctly, you think the Flames traded a 1st and two seconds to get Travis Hamonic for 3 years so they can compete after his contract and Brodie's contract have expired and when Tkachuk is on his next contract and not on his cheap contract?
I think it is pretty clear that management thinks the team can and should compete this year. You do not give up your 1st and 2nd in a deep 2018 draft so that you can compete in 2021 when those picks will be playing on your team.
