That could be could be franchise altering and could be a mistake that cancels out everything else that was done correctly. It can happen in business, it can also happen in a relationship...
In addition certainly GG will be let go at the end of the season, his balance of work looks weaker then Hartley before he was fired. I certainly hope that the Flames finish well, even if they don't make the playoffs because a 10-14th pick is big difference from a 1 or 2 pick.

This is a poor way to look at it.
If the Flames had kept the pick their record and place in the standings would almost for sure be different. Therefore the lottery results will be different.
If the ball spits out the Flames with a top pick one should not look at it as that the GM traded that specific pick.
Moreover, I can't grasp how this would be "franchise altering" given they still have the player they traded the pick for.
