Great deal for Dallas, ok deal for Anaheim but if they crash out in the conference finals it's a terrible deal. A second round pick in a draft where there is not much separating late first rounders and 3-4th rounders is valuable. Scout well and that pick could easily turn out to be a solid player, every year it happens. Flames are in no place to dish out first and seconds for veteran players who not will be in our future plans.

okayyy.... so when do we go from a "young" playoff bubble team to an "underachieving" playoff bubble team ... Not arguing but rather asking for your opinion ... at what point should this team be ready to compete? next year? 2018?
