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.

I guess Dallas may have felt emboldened to do so by winning the lottery. They also had a 24-year-old Tyler Seguin — the Flames don't have a single piece like that.
