i guess i'll just resign myself to more years of Flames mediocrity until ownership gets their heads out of their asses and accepts that this franchise needs a proper rebuild with someone competent in charge

- The Flames are unlikely to receive a lottery pic as is. Adding a true top centre and kipper makes that even less likely. It's a calculated move / risk
- Our picks this year are irrelevant when they're *directly* being swapped for a proven commodity those picks only have a remote chance of turning into
- Looking at and judging O'Reilly based on his goal totals is absurd. He's 22, has 3 pro seasons under his belt, put up 50+ points last year, was 54% on faceoffs, and lead the league in take-aways
- Your last sentence cries about a rebuild. Adding one of the best young defensive centres in the NHL (something proven, not left to chance like a draft pick) IS re-building.
