Nonsense. In the first place, not trading 1st-round picks away is not what causes disasters.
In the second place, there is no inability. The conditions on the Monahan trade were complicated because they had to account for the conditions on the Tkachuk trade. If the Flames do trade another 1st before those two deals vest, they'll just have to add another layer of conditions, that's all. The list of conditions will make fans' eyes bleed and the media won't even try to comprehend it, but lawyers eat that stuff for breakfast and every team has 'em.
Meanwhile, they still have their 2023 1st free and clear with no conditions attached.
