end of the day, raymond has to choose calgary, so why not wait till FA

I am of the mind set that not every trade right now has to be about acquiring just picks and prospects. But finding players that while younger than the players we have now can still be contributors to this team. You are right of course that Raymond has to choose Calgary but at the end of the day the Flames look like they want a total shift from the core they have now.
I like Raymond, tons of speed and a good skill set. Valuable addition to the Flames going forward. At least in my mind.
