If we do this now, we likely fall further in the standings, which means a better draft pick rather than just barely missing the playoffs or getting eliminated in the first round again.
The reset is simple: move out long-term, expensive contracts that aren’t helping us compete, focus on younger players like Zary and Zayne Parekh, and build around them while stacking draft capital. This gives us a shot at landing an elite player who can actually change the franchise. Otherwise, we’re stuck in the same cycle.

It would be a bad move to retain the amount of cap required for that long. And all those reasons why you want them to move him on, is why no team will take on that deal unless half the contract is covered. And that's a bad move for the Flames.
As for the rest. What players do you think they can move that don't have NTCs.
Andersson.
And?
Your plan isn't a plan.
