The teams like LA or the rangers that can and will make offers have a lot of high end prospects they could give up. The Flames can't put together a package anywhere close to that good, and you know how those teams got those prospects? They did bad and got good picks, they weren't bubble teams with late teens/early 20's picks.
This just isn't the right time to "go for it"

I didn’t say Eichel makes us an instant contender.
I said you can’t contend without at least one player who’s at least as good as JE.
Which you can’t, and we don’t.
