I can think of a lot of instances of the Flames giving up high picks for mediocre players. But a guy like Dubois, a guy who gives you that 80-90-point potential... is that not the kind of player who you trade firsts to get?

Exactly right. You either wait for your team to lose bad enough to get a top-3 pick,or pray for a situation like his. Kinda like when SJ got Thorton.....
