You're talking about a late first round pick here. There are countless more Klimchuk and Poirer type players that come from those than guys like Pastrnak. Plus it likely takes you 2-3 years to even come to that conclusion. If you can add a guy like Zucker at the cost of a pick and a player like Frolik, you do it, especially given the Flames trajectory.
Nothing against Frolik at all, but Zucker can be a game changer at both ends of the ice.
