Then, after a wonky final game against Dallas where the coach yanked him in a questionable call they don't bother re-signing Talbot and double down on the coach that messed up the relationship and then fire that coach anyway.
I just don't get the long term vision or planning there.

It was reported that an offer was made to Talbot and he went to free agency as he didn’t like it. Flames set a price for Talbot and they did not exceed it as I believe there was the mutual interest between the Flames and Markstrom so it made it even easier to walk away.
