Staal was a veteran centre, Flames could have certainly used that.
I tossed in Eaves with hindsight though for sure. But it’s hard enough to get free agents to come here, if you can’t take a chance on a $1mil player from the area and instead bring in a declining vet at quadruple the cost from a stacked team, then we aren’t getting anywhere.
Of course, all three of these guys could have had no interest signing in Calgary.

Matt Martin signed with the Leafs for 2.5M per for 4 years. Had Treliving signed him for $3M per over 4, Treliving would have been eviscerated on here and we would have never heard the end of it.
