It's not just leaving for nothing. The Flames had a legitimate chance at a Stanley Cup run last year. Had they won, and everything played out the way it has since then, I doubt anyone would be complaining about asset management.
There's value in not breaking up a team at the trade deadline and allowing a season to play out. If you want to complain about the offseason prior, that's fair.
