The thing is, what assets do the Flames have for deals like that? About the only thing we have that other teams want is prospects and first-rounders. I would have been choked if Feaster dealt away our first for Schneider.
And that's my only fear about this rebuild - that the braintrust will get impatient and try to shortcut this thing by dealing away a first. Reality is this franchise is in a deep hole talent-wise, and the only way out is through the draft. And it will take years.
