Draft pick continuity from 2009 is going to continue to pay off for Colorado through the next few years while the 2009 draft from the Flames is all but officially gone.

This is a very good point imo. We are historically awful at making that exact decision and selling off players when we have the chance to. Brodie and Hamonic both should have been traded during the last year.
