I do not see a chance of the Hamilton trade ever being regarded as anything less than a good trade for the Flames and it could well be a franchise changer. Superb.
The draft picks are the kind a confident and successful franchise makes. The draft choices were a product of success breeding success. We already have a good pool of prospects and so it is easy for the team to make high-reward picks rather than safe picks. And that's a great strategy when you have trust in your scouts. The Flames drafted like winners today. I like that.
