There are several teams better than the Flames who aren’t nearly as backed in to a corner.

But are they backed into a corner?
The other option would have been to not sign Tanev to avoid this situation, which wouldn't make the team better ... considerably worse.
They signed Giordano to a 6 year deal at 33 that spooked most of us that has aged so well that people are talking about losing him on the final year as backed into a corner.
Like most of the cap management argument, teams with great players on first contracts won't have big issues at all.
