No. Your exaggeration is precisely what I countered in my response to your initial post...
1. The Flames are a deep team from top-to-bottom. This is not a "CP myth."
2. Suggesting that every forward outside of the top five has "zero or negative trade value" is simply not true.
3. The Flames bottom six players are not so bad that they would be scratched by every other NHL team.
These are all massive exaggerations.

You seem to get stuck on semantics. If you threw Jankowski on say the Avalanche. Where do you see him slotting in? How bout on the Islanders? To say that a large chunk of our bottom 6 would have difficulty cracking other rosters is not a stretch. Ecspecially because as you pointed out they already have an abundance of their own. I don’t see anyone on our bottom 6 that is likely to go steal jobs away. And anyone that could is over paid for the role they’d play so the team wouldn’t want them (Ryan, Jankowski, Lucic, Bennett). Please point out one player on our bottom 6 to me then that would have any trade value at the moment. I’d like to know what you think the demand would be for anyone there since you seem to feel we’re so deep. And contrary to your belief that teams look to fill their bottom six somehow with other teams top 6 that just isn’t true. Depth has value. And guys who fit bottom 6 roles are sought after.
