When you go look at the salary cap era, it’s very clear. The Oilers are a very good example of the fact that you can be almost entirely incompetent and still have it come together better than the Flames’ “strategy”.
I also agree with traptor - the Flames need star players, and Necas ain’t that. He’s a fine player who would contribute to the Flames inability to draft from the positions they need.
If the Flames had two to three top-5 draft picks already in the system, I’d be somewhat on board with a Necas trade - but the timing is wrong right now. I generally feel that we should avoid trades like this though regardless of whatever stage the team is in - I’d much sooner see them just take the patient approach and draft and develop.
The Flames need to draft and develop their own stars. It’s step 1.

Well tanking is certainly how Pittsburgh, Chicago, LA, Tampa, Colorado and Flordai/Edmonton built their championship teams.
