To lose two first round picks then puts a ton of pressure to find other gems to step up. I think you need at least two solid prospects with serious NHL potential at every position.

C - Jankowski, Dube, Lindstrom (?)
LW - Shinkaruk, Klimchuk, Mangiapane (?)
RW - Poirier, Tuulola (?), Smith (?)
LD - Kylington, Ollas-Mattsson
RD - Andersson, Fox
G - Gillies, Parsons, MacDonald

The Flames system has some gaps to close and need those high picks.

You seem stuck in rebuilding thinking. We're exiting the rebuild now and entering our contending phase. Now is the time you can use some (not all) of your picks/prospects to plug the last major holes on the team.
