Flames made their big move in the offseason: Lindholm, Hanifin and Neal. They didn't give up anywhere near as much for those upgrades (sans Neal).
It's pretty clear they had targets, had the price they were willing to pay, and it was too much. If anything, the Flames probably drove up the cost for everyone else. Happy to see some discipline coming from the front office.
They got their depth dman, but I would've liked to have seen a depth veteran goalie with NHL experience.
