3) when flames are good, they're willing to give up assets to get bad contacts off the books. This allows the flames to maximize cap efficiency.
4) when flames are good, they authorize long-term contracts to older players to maximize probability of winning within competitive window (see Huberdeau and kadri contracts).
Imo it looks like Murray Edwards has authorized tre to do whatever it takes to maximize the probability of winning now.

We just gave away a first round pick to avoid paying Sean Monahan six million dollars this season.
We're going to be paying Nazem Kadri seven million dollars a season up until he's four months shy of his 39th birthday.
