What Sutter turned them in to matters little. My point is that Treliving is a bargain bin shopper that complains about prices being to high, contract wise or trade. Players don't want to go to a place that likes to nickle and dime you.
That screams the priority is budget and not winning.

What players were willing to come here? I only recall hearing Adrian Aucoin having to waive his NTC to come here. Other than that who are you talking about?
Let’s overpay first Cory Sarich give him 5x3.5 and a full NMC.
Jokinen coming back? Getting a washed up Tanguay back because we could promise him first line minutes?
Several players may have rejected a trade to the Flames back then. Twitter wasn’t even a thing for half of Sutter’s time here.
You proved zero evidence or proof the Flames were any more desirable in 2003-2010 than they have been in 2014-2020
