By the time third round starts the Flames should have 4-5 players drafted.

Flames better deal Stepmniak, with Ignla there are extenuating circumstances that may make that deal difficult but with Stepmniak there is nothing other than management being stuck in a win now mentality.
So many logical reasons to trade Stempniak right now:
1) his value will never be higher;
2) he's notoriously streaky, he could suck next year;
3) Flames have depth on the wings and all the others can't really be moved.
This is the easiest trade for Feaster to make. Much easier than Iginla.
