Not always.
In the next four or five years the Flames will find themselves in situations in which they will need to make decisions for cap compliance, and to provide internal upgrades to the NHL roster. Older veteran players like Frolik, Stone, Hamonic, Backlund, Neal, Brodie, Ryan may find themselves supplanted one day by younger, cheaper, better players behind them. The GM may need to move players for picks as early as this season to make room.
