If he no longer fills a need for the Flames you trade him, and probably could get at least what the Flames gave up to get him.
I'm not criticising it. I'm just saying it's not a no brainer do over. 2 years later, I think seeing the quality of the roster built, perhaps the flames would be fine just using the picks.

I'll stop my argument here. My fundamental crux of the argument is that Teams that aren't good should never trade 1st rounders.
