NEVER sign a veteran UFA for big term and big money. They rarely ever work out, and usually end in disaster.

I'd be more than happy having the Flames pass on guys like Grabner and Vanek and give prospects like Mangiapane, Foo and Dube some more rope. I think all 3 of those guys, with a little patience, could solve some of the secondary scoring issues next year.
I agree, it is hard to imagine that any solutions will be found in signing UFAs. If the Flames want sustainable success it has to come from homegrown talent. Granted I would like to see a D man get traded for a winger who can score.
