I agree with you in that I think the Flames, have undervalued 2nd and even 3rd round picks for far too long. At least we know Darryl highly valued his first round picks and is highly reluctant to part with one. Feaster and Weisbord? Not so much.
But to be fair, 2nd round picks have because somewhat of a default currency if a team wanted a solid player wihout giving up a roster player. I've been pretty critical of Feaster for having traded 2nd round picks so ya I don't think the Flames, in their current position, should be trading high draft picks and then missing the playoffs.
