Which is why if we trade for picks this year, Id like the Flames to stockpile 2015 1st/2nd round picks instead of 2014. GMs (especially those under pressure to perform) may be more willing to part with assets farther away in time, plus some teams may surprise suck and give you a higher up pick than everyone initially thought.
Buffalo did it right with the Vanek trade. They will likely either get a Top 5 pick now, or a 1st round pick in a fantastic draft year. Sneaky smart, that Regier!
