I think we're aware of the original post, but there is some irony here that people have spent so much time complaining about the need to acquire more picks, and now here we are discussing dumping virtually all of them.

But the real question is: is the difference between Monahan and MacKinnon worth trading six other picks? And the answer more than likely is no.

Also, the "the Flames drafting has sucked the last 15 years so why not?" argument is a red herring fallacy. Past actions by different GMs and different scouting departments do not reflect on what the current group may do.
