I don't hate it, but Treliving is once again betting a lot on a pretty small chance of success. Understandable given the situation, but I don't love it either.

I feel kind of the same way you do - especially with the term on those 2 big contracts.
But I try to remind myself that the Flames still have all their own first round picks, a couple of decent prospects coming up, and a lot of contracts coming off the books in the next couple of years too. They could go all in for 3 years which they've done - and when their stars turn into pumpkins have a decent infusion of cheap young talent ready to plug in and start the rebuild on the fly.
In the end - as another poster noted you could be hit by a bus 2 years from now. Better to see the team go for a cup in the time you have left.
