I really the sliding pick aspect from the Flames prospective. If the Bouwmeester Curse lives on, we add a forth this year, and get a none playoff draft pick next next year. If not 3 firsts in a strong draft.

+ we a shaping up to be the only wealthy team with money to spare in a off season that will see a league wide cash crunch. This is not only good from a free agent stand point, but from a trade stand point. Look at the deals the oilers made for Peca and Pronger in '05. We could be positioned for something like that this summer. (if we can off load Kipper and Cammi even more so).
