That's a load of garbage and you know it. They were in absolutely no position to gamble. During that time they certainly didn't draft a franchise winger or goalie either. They were pretty poor all around.
Were the Flames oozing prospects or something at the time that I'm not aware of? I mean considering this happened a year and a half ago, those prospects must be graduating to the NHL or something soon.
The Flames had one of the weakest systems at the time and it is the reason that people were critical of the pick.
Then and now.
