No player is a lock anywhere. I recall some of the posters here claiming Iginla was going to go to Pittsburgh and recapture his greatness in a Penguins uniform along side Crosby and that was a sure thing. There is no such thing as a sure thing and many times a player is not as successful someplace else because he has a different role than that which made him a success. Seguin could be experiencing the success he is because he plays on a stacked team. Move him to another team where there is not the level of talent and his points likely take a substantial drop off. It would be a huge gamble to bring him in and think he was going to turn into a franchise player. If he isn't achieving that in Boston he certainly won't be here.
The Flames are best served by sitting on their high end assets and not making trades where they give up multiple assets to acquire one. Patience is the key here. The Flames have some really nice pieces after this draft and are finally starting to build toward the depth required to have a good team. Let those assets continue to pile up and develop.
