Hagel-like acquisitions make sense when you've got the top-end of your roster sorted and it's loaded with skill. Hagel-like players then come in and fill those depth spots behind them. This team already has the depth spots filled - the problem is the top-end is severely lacking.

Yup flames need top-end talent, or at least someone on the level of Fiala, Debrincat and Dach who were all traded this summer.
Flames either need to hit the prospect lottery and have some young guy step up in a huge way or to make a deal similar to one of these. Looking at the early trade boards, meier is the option. Unfortunately, they don't really have the cap space next year to do that.
Gotta wonder with how Zadorov is playing you potentially have 6 top 4 D if one could be moved out in the offseason.
