Except that:
1) you have to significantly overpay because the other team is accepting both a delay, and significant uncertainty, and
2) in all likelihood, the Flames are drafting even higher next year. Remember that, not only is it year 1 of a rebuild, but goaltending is a huge question mark.
That is a foolish trade IMO. When you try to rush things, that is when you make bad decisions
