I say, you pay what you gotta pay.

Disagree.
If their window was now, and they needed one more piece to get over the top, then pay whatever it takes.
But the Flames have time - lots of time. They are in asset management mode, not win now mode, so overpaying for a player that isn't a perfect solution is just poor asset management. If you can acquire them at a good price, great - you've improved on your asset total. But overpaying defeats the purpose.
