But they don't need to sign or trade every single free agent this summer either. If they were to go past the deadline with say an unsigned Tanev and Zadorov because they're in a good spot I wouldn't be up in arms.

Exactly. The team needs to maximise their return on investments, but you cannot expect the Flames to enter the season with no pending UFAs on the roster. That is unrealistic. Hanifin and Lindholm are the big ones: they are either extending one and moving the other in the coming couple of months. The rest are of significantly lower concern heading into the season.
I personally feel that extending Lindholm and trading Hanifin is the best option.
