I'd rather overpay one Marner than stack on 3 more Geekie, Ehlers, and Bourque for a similar sum. Macho08 said it in another thread. The Flames can find their own guys at that level. They can't seem to find many guys who are a step up. Keep the best picks and if you can't get the cream of the crop...cobble together what you can with cap dumps and see if you can get a misfit group of motivated outcasts on short term deals.

Unless you can get a real star, I'd be hesitant to tie up too much term on any incoming players. Even for a so called star...I'm still suffering some Huberdeau PTSD.
