I'm sure in a couple years when we are trying to trade Kadri and he is worth 10x less than he was at the deadline we will regret it too. It's classic Flames short term thinking.

Even now, they aren't sure if they are going to be rebuilding. And it was mentioned a lot depends on if Andersson re signs.
Man where to start ...

Very little of your first two paragraphs has any sort of truth to it.

Doesn't think long term ... traded all their UFAs for futures, and went into a season with $20M in cap space.

Fantasy world on verge of a cup run ... once again didn't spend the $20M, didn't add at the deadline.

What they didn't do is move every single experienced player on their roster and didn't things at a measured pace.

You can critique that against your very limited "this is the only way" view, but the rest you're just making up.
