Sure adding an elite superstar puts pressure on a GM to fill out the roster but the Flames are set up with a bunch of steal contracts. Adding an elite superstar at around 10-12 million won't cost them all their depth. Not even close.
Throw on top Gaudreau and Monahan are wrapped up for many year and when Gaudreau contract expires so does Gio. It could be years before they feel a real cap crunch
Also lots of teams acquired elite level talent to win Stanley cups
Chara?
Richards and Carter?
Hossa?
Nothing wrong with adding a big name to the Flames already good core

Why dont you list the far more numerous side of trades that have been disasters and often take years to recover from.
