Cap efficiency (signings and extensions), development and drafting are all more important than trades (in that order, imo).
Trades are important as they pertain to asset management.
Coaching hires matter as well. Not just the head coach but the supporting staff.
With that said, if the Flames had one of (a) good coaching or (b) good goaltending, they would likely be a playoff team or even a contender this year.
