Someone with long term control, like Hagel did, could even be flipped for assets once the contention window concluded.
If the Flames could get someone like that, while also having Coronato on an ELC, that’s two more top 6 players without adding that much more cap. Imagine how much better the slotting would be in the next two seasons.

Hagel cost two first round picks. You want to pay that for a good third line player because he ‘s under a cheap contract?
