Yes picks are great, and more are better. The risk with picks is that you have them in a down year, or there isn't anyone available in your position of need.
That's where prospects come in - you can target needs.
When acquiring assets, both are good. Saying prospects aren't the way to go is just putting blinders on.

You get a higher value return in pick volume than you can in prospects and the flames are about 6 years away from being in a position where they can draft for 'need' because they need everything.
2 years ago the flames didn't make their first draft selection until the 4th round. The idea that getting Morgan Frost is going to turn this thing around is idiotic. Look what has JUST happened with the Flames and their 'rebuild'. Look at what is happening in Edmonton.
