It isn't really about pennies on the dollar. Florida's ownership and GM aren't scared to make big moves. Instead of nibbling around the edges, they decided to make serious changes and believed in their path fully. Contrast with the Flames (and many other teams to be fair), constantly waiting to move players until their deals are near expiring or being unwilling to pay prices for quality players via trade.

Crossroads here was that Flames should have paid the price for Eichel, Stone at the time and moved or extended Gaudreau/Tkachuk etc. before getting too far down the road into contract issues or bridging.
