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.

I wouldn't say pay whatever it takes, but I would consider that 23 year old Centers with top 6 potential don't come on the market very often.
