I totally disagree that every offer sheet will be matched. If the Flames had their third they could sequentially offer Broberg and the Holloway 2.28 million on one year deals and get one of those two players for the cost of a 3rd round pick. You could probably offer Alex Turcotte 1.5 million on a one way contract and get him for free.
The top guys (Lucas Raymond) will be matched and it makes no sense because to get him at a level that won’t be matched you would have to offer a salary that results in a 1st, 2nd and 3rd going the other way. But the young players for whom compensation is a 2nd or a 3rd or even no compensation you can probably actually get.
