The uncertainty in the draft means the Flames should be hoarding picks, no matter the round. A prospect who could have been a late riser in a normal draft might fall to the later rounds. It's a total crap shoot so it's better to have as many lottery balls as possible.

If you can get 7th round picks for Ritchie, Nordstrom, Leivo, Nestorov, Stone, Simon, Rinaldo, then do it. Bennett should be traded, even if it is for a 2nd, same for Rittich. Ryan should get you a 3rd or 4th rounder and this has to happen; DO NOT keep him and think of re-signing him, he's too small for his role.

As for the core, if Treliving and Sutter have identified which ones are going, they should make sure that whatever trade they make will include some picks coming in as well.
