That's a pretty stocked young team.

I'm sure they'd love to add to that and keep their picks for sure, but the logic certainly wasn't insane.
Bennett is not a top six forward.

The Flames did take a unique approach, no other team in the league traded as many picks as the Flames did over the past 5 years. Most teams trade picks to try to win a cup, the Flames took a different approach and traded picks to try to make the playoffs.

3 goalies with upside is a real stretch, if they have upside we should trade Gillies for a 2nd rounder. We would be lucky to get a 4th for Gillies.
