Since 2015 the Flames have actually been in pretty good at identifying talent in the draft.

Issue is that the Elliott, Smith, and Hamonic trades ate into all of our picks in the top 2 rounds, but they've done good with the picks they've had.

It's why I'd be okay with shedding some pieces for picks this year, we need to give our scouts the ammo to actually make some shrewd picks.

Identify your core pieces that are protected in the expansion draft (7 forwards, 3 dmen) and trade anyone outside that grouping for picks or prospects that are expansion exempt.
