That's the whole point though. Right now the Flames first rounder is "high", because the Flames are low in the standings. But we all know that ownership and Feaster are not going to tear this thing apart like the Oilers. They might trade Iggy and Kipper, but they won't tear it down completely. They will still try to make the playoffs even after trading Iggy and Kipper.
What I'm suggesting is you trade the illusion of a top 5 pick, because i'm pretty sure this team will not suck enough to get a top 5 pick. Feaster and ownership will not allow it.
So in essence, you are trading a pick in the 8 to 15 range for ROR.
