They tried. For the MacKinnon lovers they can at least sleep knowing they tried.
Overall I would not have been a fan of that trade. Too many high potential players available at all picks. We need the depth. A prospect rich environment is what the Flames need.
If the top 4 are locked I see no point in trying to move up. As for the Oilers having more than what the Flames have to offer, do they Have three first round picks? nope. Can the flames trade the 28th down to acquire more picks? yep. The Oilers have no advantage over the Flames in trading up.
