This is literally the perfect opportunity given the geography and NTC constraints for why the above players are not on the Flames.

not sure how you can disagree
geography cost them Kardri/Brown...there is no argument there
Stone, well he would sign in Vegas immediately but not Calgary
So rental vs. 8 year contract (how the hell do you beat their offer)
It doesn't excuse every transaction ever but these two are obvious. Its like the Rangers back in the day...were all the other GMs bad? or did the Rangers have more money and all the players wanted to go there.
This situation is different but again there is no deal last I checked
