That could well be accurate, and it's understandable. This year has been a pleasant surprise. While they can't assume the next couple of years will be just as good, they also couldn't assume that this was the year to exhaust high-ish picks and their only legitimately valuable prospects.
The Flames were in a bit of a weird and unfamiliar spot today. It's not terribly surprising that their only trade was a minor depth move.
