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.

"Deep" can mean many things. It could mean a great top-10 and then normal after that. It could mean something else. Depends on where teams see the gaps in talent on their lists. If different teams have different views on that, then you can trade up without giving up too much.
