You can only count on what you have to work with, not pipe dreams. The Flames currently have very little to work with and would have to sell off any talent they have for draft picks, then hope like hell they don't go Sam Bennett (NEVER go full Sam Bennett). It doesn't matter who you pick up in free agency, the second you trade proven top six assets for magic beans (draft picks) you are making the team weaker and initiating a full on rebuild. |
Any trade a fan on here lists is highly unlikely to happen, but if the Flames do a tear down and those players are traded, they should net a very big package of futures, so his point stands.
But yeah, selling off pieces of our core is definitely risky, and does not guarantee future success.
