Are there any teams currently in a rebuild, or looking as though they may start one, whereby it could make sense for the Flames to trade their 1st round pick in the upcoming draft for immediate help?

I'd like to see the Flames start making the playoffs next season, and as it appears to be a 7-9 overall pick this season, it's unlikely the drafted player plays right away.

Obviously, the Flames aren't in a position where this is necessary... though, is it time for the Flames to start thinking this way? ... or is it a season or 2 too early?
