Do what Colorado did last deadline. Acquire top six forwards (Lekkhonen) or top 4 D (Manson) or don't bother. Impact guys only. No more Ryan Carpenters.

Slight difference being that Colorado was a lights-out contender last year and going for it made sense. The Flames are not that.
If the team is going to spend early-round picks (hopefully not 2023), I'd rather the team go after affordable players with term, like the Toffoli deal. Or target players you have a hope to re-sign, like the Bruins and Lindholm.
