This draft is being touted as deep... but I'm not hearing that Mac or Drouin or anyone is a Malkin or a Crosby or a Stamkos... so wouldn't the best way to take full advantage of this draft to have as many picks as possible???
It seems to me the Flames are sitting very well for this specific draft... I don't think trading up is a wise move... unless they're using a player and a pick to get a higher pick... meaning they'd still be left with the 3 in the first round.
If anything, I'd like to see players moved, with the PIT and STL picks to get them up into the middle of the round somewhere... but NOT looking to package both of them for a higher pick, thereby leaving the team with only 2 picks.
