You can't just "sign depth." Have we learned nothing watch Brad Treliving continually step all over his dick trying to do so? Making mistakes in trying to sign depth can result in 3rd and 4th line being paid $8M+. Horrible management of resources. You want to play your top end players the big money, then have good young players coming in that give you depth and keep your cap in check. This is why the Flames suck.
