ROR may have turned out to be a great player but in supposedly a very solid draft the Flames would have left themselves with no picks until the 4th round which puts any chances of building a quality team from within into question.
I'm scared. Scared that they are going to now dangle more draft picks for more quick fix players as indications are that the Flames are calling teams looking for a deal. There seems to be zero patience or vision. It's a hopeless feeling as a fan to realize that your team has become the prime example of how not to run your NHL team.

This.
The brain trust was willing to risk losing 1st and 3rd for nothing so you can bet your behind that they are itching to move the first to get help to "win now"
Scary indeed.
