In the trade thread, a lot of people are hung up on making a move that nets a top 10 pick (and that's fine too), but there are multiple teams sitting on multiple second rounders. Sneaking in on a deal that bags a few of those might pay big dividends this year, as the shortened season put a lot of pressure on scouts to be at the top of their game. And I like the Flames scouting staff.

Perhaps. Some are not very high on Foudy and think he is getting a boost because of his brother and other aspects of his family genetics.
Craig Button has Foudy at 80.

If you want a 5'11, 175lb forward prospect then it is definitely your year. Defense and goal are much weaker in general.
Not that I disagree with the point that it is a good year to have a 2nd rounder
