It's an opportunity cost situation as well as a cap situation. If the Flames weren't paying Dougie 5.75 at the cost a 1st and 2 2nds, could they have instead drafted one of those guys and signed a capable defender? Could they have drafted one of those guys, stunk the joint out next season and then done the hamonic deal?
I'm not trying to re-live the picks here, but it's hard to argue the Flames are building through the draft when they have no picks in the first three rounds this year so far, their second year in 4 where they won't be drafting in the 1st round.

So in effect what you're saying is that the picks we did use to acquire a top first pairing and top 2nd pairing d-men should have been retained despite the fact you also insist this team can't draft worth a damn?
Makes sense.
