So if that pick is traded, they're going to have get some other pick in the 2ND and 3rd rounds.

You are right, we kind of do need a pick in the first round, not helping one this year will hurt the rebuild.
I was listening to the Fan 960 yesterday and they had Eric Duhatschek on and they were talking about the goalie situations for Calgary and Eric Duhatschek said that the Pens may keep Fleury and trade Murray because they have Tristan Jarry and the Pens can develop him, while Fleury play's most of the games and they can get a king's ransom for Murray. Eric Duhatschek said they could likely get 1st round pick + Sam Bennett for Murray(I don't like that trade, they are going to put Sam Bennett on Crosby's wing and Sam is going to score a #### load of points.) Eric Duhatschek also said that the Flames should go after Cory Schneider becuase "Cory Schneider maybe the best goaltender that is available"(because the Devils maybe couple of years from contending) but he would also cost 1st round pick and Sam Benett(don't know why.) So I think that 1st round pick is being moved.
