True but that just means the flames need to improve in that area. In the same way that the flames need a skilled RW or a puck-moving defenseman, the flames need to improve their professional scouting. Every year there are capable veteran depth players looking for a short term contract at a bargain (Perry/Staal/Spezza/etc.) that end up bringing just as much or even more value to the team as the guys that management pays guys big money and long term for (Neal/Lucic/Brouwer). Pro scouting needs to be better for filling out the bottom half of the roster so that high ceiling potential can be targeted in the draft to fill out the top of the roster.
