Why? I think it's clear that the Flames have moved past that point.
I don't want them to trade their 2019 1st, but I don't think selling players for draft picks is a good idea either. The Flames are at the stage where they have to start leveraging their future to win now. That doesn't necessarily mean selling the farm, but we've stockpiled some really good assets and if we have to let one or two go for an upgrade that helps the team for the next 3 or 4 years I think they will do it.
Not every prospect will pan out, and even if they do there's not room for every one of them.
