You have to learn to walk before you can run and right now the Flames aren't even a playoff calibre team. Those players at least got the Flames in position to compete in the playoffs for the Stanley Cup. Tanking is really the only way to try and get a true franchise altering player so as long as the Flames are going to try and build through drafting outside of the top 10 and via trades, they may as well at least build a team that can make the playoffs.
