Rushing it is the Dallas model though.
When the Stars had their worst season in 16/17, they went and traded for Bishops' rights and signed Radulov in the next offseason.
They literally went out and got the two biggest names on the market.
The Flames were 29th in points percentage from the trade deadline to the end of the regular season. If they want to remain competitive during their rebuild like Dallas was, they are going to have to make some aggressive moves.
If a team doesn't make big moves to improve, they are unlikely to remain "competitive" during a rebuild and then there is a good chance they spend over half a decade rebuilding.
