I do not think all 3 picks will be used to draft players. I could see one of the 2nd picks traded for a player. So on that i will ask the CP a question:

Would you rather the flames draft 2 players ( one at 6th and the other around 25) and trade the other pick for a player, or would you rather the flames draft 6th and take the 2 other first round picks to move up to the 12 spot?

Also the player being traded for is not going to be a Wayne Simmonds, Jakub Voracek type player. Think more in the lines of a Matt Read type player.
I'd be choked if a player of that ilk was brought in for one of those picks. The Flames have a near ideal setting here going into this rebuild...if they piss it away, I'll be upset.

I get the argument that the late round pick may not even be an NHL player...but the player may also be a Correy Perry or Mike Richards.

The Flames would just totally throw away the tactical advantage they have with 3 picks in a deep draft.
