Trading for prospects as the major components of trades is a re-tool, it won't work, it's a bad idea and the Flames shouldn't do that if they want to be competitive.

Exactly this.
I think the best thing this organization can do is gather draft picks and trust their scouts.
Everything else is just a path back to mediocrity. It is beyond infuriating that Tree spent a 3rd and a 4th on Forbort and Gus.
What a waste in a long history of wasting picks. Needlessly and recklessly blowing assets. You have to be patient and you can't take mid-level swings that blow up in your face in free agency (Neal, Brouwer, Raymond). So much waste.
The more I talk about Tree, the less impressed I am. Just a sub-par GM. Easily in the bottom 10 league-wide.
