Basically the Flames need better players. Better players get suggested and there are strong responses suggesting that all the better players are crap and the Flames would be better if they stayed away from those suggested.
Like, seriously. Cale Makar and Nathan MacKinnon could both be UFA and it gets reported that they're interested in going to the same team and some people here would be "No way! We don't want them" and come up with cons that probably don't even outweight the pros.
There is no perfect player and we aren't going to suddenly invent one. If someone like Barzal or Marner helps improve our club then shouldn't we be interested in what they could do for our team?

I get what you're saying, but comparing both MacKinnon and Makar to Barzal and Marner is far from equal, so your point is lost a bit.
I'd avoid paying for both Barzal and Marner personally myself, but I'd take either MacKinnon or Makar in a heart beat as both players are undeniably better in all aspects and would change our franchise instantly. But that's because both players are impact players on their own. Where as I view both Marner and Barzal as complimentary pieces and not franchise players.
