The Flames don't need to treat players like ####, but they absolutely need to be protecting themselves and restocking.

You can't always rely on a homerun UFA signing like Tanev to cancel an absolute gaffe of letting Brodie walk.

And if you are gonna trade 1sts, it better NOT be for Hamonic-level players.
Also helps that they got like 10 bazillion draft picks for ambushing the rest of the league with an expansion draft and have a top 3 market for NTC and UFA privilege. Not sure that's something the Flames are in a position to replicate.
