I agree with you, and I am not saying the Flames can go spend $12M on a player. I said that it gives the team options. Those options were lacking over the last couple off-seasons. For example you had to sign Mangiapane to a bridge deal, even though both player and team preferred a longer term deal*. I am hoping that with some savvy trades/signings we might get an exciting team this season. I gave up on rebuilding since that doesn't seem likely.



*That is my take because in one interview I remember Mangiapane saying they couldn't do a longer term because of the cap.
