Allows us to keep basically the entire team together for the next three years and make a hard push in that time. We'd have enough cap space to get another impact player or two as well (if we trade someone like Frolik).
Make a decision on Brodie and Hamonic in a two years. Capitalize on the few good years Gio has left and when our forward core are in their prime.

it is a good point. if flames management thinks the next 2-3 years is their best possible window for a cup, retain as much budget flexibility as you can and go for it.
let the chips fall where they may after that.
