Not having a first or second this year followed by no 2nd or 3rds next year given the teams performance is an utter disappointment that is on the GM's hands.

What exactly are you saying?
Every GM has to assess their prospect cupboard for likelihood to make it, and in what role.
The Flames have had some pretty terrible prospect lists in the past and if that was the case today you wouldn't want to deal picks as it would put the team in a terrible position.
The relative quality of this group makes it more palpable to make those moves.
That's the reality. They're not players until they make it is just a bumper sticker.
