Essentially Bouwmeester was traded for a 2nd round player not a 1st unless you believe Poirier was going to be picked in the first round by another team.

The last time the Flames flat out won a trade was Kiprusoff. I can't think of any others honestly.
At least Feaster got first round picks for trading away one of the team's best players. Part of the reason the team sucks is that Phaneuf garnered junk (same as all trades with the Leafs)
I'd rather focus on the drafting part of the draft, not the trade part though.
