That trade was not a "fleecing" in any way, shape or form.

It was a solid trade for both teams.
It doesn't matter who they picked

It's the value of the pick, not the player it turned out to be

If the flames traded Matt stajan for the 1st overall pick next year it's an incredible trade, if they pick the next Yakupov or Daigle etc. And it busts that doesn't make it a bad trade

Who the team drafted is seperate
