Trading away this years first, even if it's at 5 or 6, would be a huge mistake. The team doesn't have a first rounder from last year and needs to have some prospects in the system. With the top prospects in this draft all looking fairly big, I think it would be an even bigger mistake to trade that pick for a smaller forward like Drouin (and I want the Flames to get Drouin somehow).

if the Flames finish 28th or so, the lowest they could pick would be 6th. There are still some really good players around that range and I'd hate to pass the up for Drouin.
