With respect to trading up, i'd pass, opting to keep all of our picks rather than move up...Calgary needs all the players it can gather. One player isn't going to be enough - even Crosby wouldn't be able to beat the Islanders on his own.
just look at Boston; Seguin is playing well, but the assassin on that team against Toronto? Second round pick David Krecji.
That's why you don't trade picks.

I agree with this. Most of the key pieces of the Bruins Cup contending/winning team were snagged with second and third round picks. That's why it irritates me greatly when people claim you can only draft elite talent with top five draft picks, and that the Flames should be aiming for the gutter because of that claim.
