You may as well say that Tkachuk should have been signed for 8 years at $3M per season.

Tkachuk has already proven far and beyond what we got out of those 2 players so that clearly is not a good comparison.
Those contracts ended up handcuffing the team when there were likely much better options available. A call up would have been an opportunity to develop a player; At least this way we still had cap space to sign a young proven player or a RW.
Neal and Brouwer took a roster spot, basically did nothing with it. The Flames come out of that rebuild a little too soon. We got 2 useless players trending down. If they were not available for show me contracts then the Flames should have been patient and done their homework.
