Yeah but you have to pay for taking the bad contracts and not taking a good player.

Nelson: 45 pts
Strome: 30 pts
De Haan: 25 pts
Josh Bailey: 53 points

All those players probably can get you a pick in the 15-20 range if you were to draft them and then flip them. So avoiding picking one of them, and also taking on 2 bad contracts should cost way more than just the 15th overall.

Personally if the Flames traded 16th overall for one of those players I would have no issue with it.
