I’m not in favour of it at all. When you just had a season like they had, you don’t lose your best player and undisputed leader in a young room when you could buy out Stone or just punt Frolik for a 7th. But theres some features that make it objectively appealing.

If the Flames have any interest in winning the Stanley Cup over the next few years, they keep Gio and double down with everything they have. The true contention window is now.
The only feature that makes it objectively appealing is the desire to be a perpetual bubble team that might or might not make the playoffs every year. Never good enough to be a true contender, never bad enough to be a true rebuilding team.
