In my opinion it comes down to the acquisition price and the cost to extend him. If the cost to acquire him is low, say Mangiapane with 50% retained and some spare parts, and you can sign him to a fair contract (3 years at a $5 million AAV), I don’t see why you wouldn’t acquire him.
He is not the player you make a big flashy deal for, but he could be a good match for the Flames right now.
