A 'script' says 'this is what we are going to do'. A 'plan' has multiple contingencies, and occasionally requires pivoting. Especially in a situation like the Flames are in, where they have multiple UFAs, and they need to determine how many of them they re-sign.

Personally, I am very glad to hear they have made this decision (and I think it is exactly the decision they needed to make)
Posters like Lanny seem to think a plan is a precise and, most importantly, accurate prediction of the future. That prediction must also align completely with their own prediction.
