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

3rd string goalie for a 2nd round pick isn't a "fleecing" anyways.
It was a fair value trade at the time of the trade.
Luckily for both teams, the goalie AND the pick both turned into great assets for the teams involved.
NOT a fleecing.
