To be clear, I am in favor of moving Sven in a package for Floridas pick, but NOT in a package that includes the flames pick.
I believe this is a possibility, in a week draft year, because Florida likely has new owners (again) and 3-4years of Luongo to do something. Therefor I believe Florida would be willing to move their #1 pick for young assets ready to step into the line up next season.
If we are exploring the idea of moving up 2-3 spots for Floridas pick, then I would prefer the Flames use other picks to do this and not young players. AGAIN, I don't think Florida is interested in more picks or other picks, I think they want young, NHL-ready players to compete sooner rather than later.
