You can argue any of the top 4 could be the best player in the draft so there isn't any real value in trading assets to move up unless you truly covet one over the others. There is a silver lining for Flames management in that they will still get the ability to draft what could be the best overall player of the four when all is said and done and will be free of the criticism that would go to the three teams ahead of them that let that player slip through their fingers. Just think if the Flames get Bennett and he becomes the next Doug Gilmour and the German kid turns into Michal Handzus. We will be able to hold that over Oilers fans for a long time.
