If this team had prime Iggy, Reggie and Kipper they'd be pretty near unstoppable for the next 5-10 years.
Anyways, as for now I don't really want to see the Flames expelling any sort of assets for middling talent that really doesn't have much of a chance to push this team where it needs to be this season.
It's been a decent season of growth for the rebuild IMO. Unfortunate steps back from Brodie, Mony and Johnny, and a bit of a stagnated Bennett, but the overall team game has improved to the point where if the young talent returns to form, this franchise could easily turn into a perennial playoff team with potential to win a Cup or two.

IMO if they aren't going to make the playoffs they may be better off dropping into a top 10 pick as it's pretty clear this team still needs to hit on some more young players and the teams drafting history has been spotty with anything outside the top 10.
