However, if the point is that the team needed more high end talent then it seems logical to stick with the rebuild instead of rushing it by trading away high draft picks for depth players.

The two top dmen were pretty attractive pieces. The Flames do not have two dmen right now that look like they will have a 4 year run like Brodie and Giordano did from 14/15 through 17/18.
Also agree on the rushing the rebuild. It is hard to both not have the top end talent to have an elite team and trade a bunch of picks two to fours years into the rebuild.
