(1) Did not waste picks and prospects on players that wouldn't have sufficiently moved the needle.
(2) didn't take on term for garbage players, which means lots of cap space next season
(3) Put flames in position to make a playoff run if the team gets hot.
(4) Now has five NHL quality UFA defensemen and only needs to get one under contract for next season.
Lots of flexibility in the off-season to use cap space and picks and prospects to get a franchise RW or franchise center.
