Of course that has nothing to do with Oil fans but it's just as silly. |
As I already explained, I was merely suggesting a structure of a trade, not a specific trade. I didn't suggest that specific trade should happen. I was merely pointing out that there is a system in place with compliance buyouts which the Flames are setup, probably more than any other team, to essentially buy draft picks from other teams. The system is only possible for these two offseasons where buyouts can be made without cap hit penalties, and the Flames are in a position where they might both have some extra cash to spend, and really wanting extra draft picks.
