If you can get a young player that improves the team for the next few years and all it costs is the 1st rounder and a non-NHL roster player, then I think you take it and try to recover picks at the draft or trust in this team's amazing ability to find talent in later rounds.
There are a few players like this allegedly on the block this year. The window is open now, but that's not to say Flames will have a better chance than they do this year.
Like others, my only pause would be chemistry.
I'll be happy with whatever BT decides to do.
