This might just be arguing semantics, but giving up the opportunity to draft a Barzal or Connor in my mind is the same thing as giving up a blue chip prospect. I think it would have been hard to argue drafting one of those guys would not have made them instantly one of the Flames best prospects. Both have elite potential.
Don't get me wrong, would be happy to trade them for a proven 22 year old RH shooting franchise d-man, but the Flames did give up quality in this trade.

Both would have lept past Poirier on our depth chart instantly.
