Well they could've and should've traded the pick for an NHL Defenseman. But yes he was the clear number 1 at the time. Could've also gone with trading a 1st (matt Barzall) to get Griffen Reinhart. Or trading Taylor Hall for Larson, or trading Eberle for Strome, or the Lucic signing. The following were all bad moves when they were completed and are still bad moves for the organization today.
As for the Flames, I think trading Iginla for nothing of significance was a worse move then the Neal signing. Interesting to see that the best teams over the last 10 years have made very minor and very few "mistakes" while the Edmontons and Buffaloes along with Ottawa remain tire fires.
