The Flames are in a rebuild. You don't trade first rounders unless it's for a proven young NHL star. As much as I like Drouin, he isn't a proven NHL star...not like Dougie anyway. It's a rebuild and you want to have good young talent spread out in position and age because of when they'll need new contracts. The Flames traded away last years first (in an amazing deal) so unless something like that comes up, I wouldn't trade it.
