But don't trade our 1st round pick that will likely be no better than Poirier or Klimchuk?

Assuming the Flames make the playoffs that is.
We're drafting 7th overall as of right now. Why would you believe a 7th overall pick would be worse than Poirier or Klimchuk, who are both trending to be busts?
