The issue is that if you're one Rich Peverley from a cup you can make the trade to get him, not burn a 15th overall.
That is why, IMO, Flames are better off taking a riskier pick with higher upside at 15. (Svechnikov, Merkley, Guryanov?, Boeser even).

I get your point but if the scouts are right then you get a sure fire blue chip 2nd/3rd line pivot in Colin White. If true then you put your team ahead of the ones giving TOI to pretty average Jarret Stolls. To be successful we need all the formations (or at least most) to be above the league average. That what separates champions from champion wannabes, doesn't it? Besides - it's better to grow talents in own system rather than trading for them or - even worse - throwing money at them (ufa).
