Sure but my point is whether the picks would have been better used in the draft or other off season trades vs. rentals. I can understand wanting to do it, I just think spending so many later picks on short term depth isn’t good value, particularly where the Flames sit as a contender. And most of these rented players just weren’t very good.
But another way I think of it is that if you’re inclined to acquire defensive depth at the deadline, I’d have preferred the club hadn’t invested so heavily in the back end prior to the start of each season.
