It's definitely high risk given what the team will look like heading into next season. I just don't see a team trading a top 5 pick away in this draft for 2 late first rounders unless you add a real significant piece. Moving out next years pick on the other hand might have more value to teams given the state the Flames are in. You would have to be confident that a top 5 pick at this years draft would be better than a top 5 in next years draft to even think about making this trade from a Flames standpoint.
