To me, the Flames will be in a great position to make a trade like this a couple years from now when they are ready to turn the corner. They need to focus on building a strong stable of prospects, and at that point you can start dealing them for potential young all-stars who need a change of scenery for whatever reason. Making a deal like this now would require overpayment and deplete an area which is already a weakness, young talent. Once that area is a strength, let the sweet trades roll!
