It doesn’t need to be a Matthews or McDavid-level player. But the bottom line is the Flames need to draft extraordinarily well. Players don’t generally want to come to Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg or Ottawa without a big overpayment.
So the only way to get really good players on decent contracts is by drafting well. It sucks, but with FA, players are going to want to go to big, exciting markets or warm-weather markets.
