I'm nit sure if that's foolish pride or misplaced hope but wh give up an asset just to get a lower pick? The playoffs are not a reality for the flames and even if they were, this team is just not good no matter who is in net. Keep the pick, play Ortio or whoever else, sell assets and give prospects a chance and call this an early training camp.

"Going for it" now would be like someone using their last of their money on a lottery ticket instead of rent and food. You don't gamble on this team all of a sudden becoming great at any cost, if it was going to happen, it would have. Keep the pick, sell the free agents, play the kids then take the higher pick at the draft. The future is more important than pride right now.
