Remember even a 2nd rounder has only a 10% chance to be top 6 F/4D.

I agree that playoff experience for the young players is more valuable than an extra 2nd or 3rd round pick.
However, I am not convinced that the Flames will only make the playoffs by keeping everyone. They have showed over the last couple seasons that they play just as well, if not better, when running with the kids.
So why not have both?
