Just say no each time that's suggested here.

I think it’s okay to add boat anchors in years 4-7 if your window is years 1-3. The flames already having Kadri and Huberdeau signed to expensive long term contract that will be boat anchors soon.
So given the flames situation bring on the boat anchors if it makes the team better for the next three years. It will only be by being stuck in expensive bad contracts that this team will be forced to rebuild so the last 4 years of Kadri and Huberdeau seem like a good time for that rebuild to take place.
