The weird part about the order from the ownership to sell draft picks to become competitive is that it only came into effect when Brad was here. I think Darryl traded one first round pick in 9 years. And the order to be competitive and not build for the future seems to come and go. In 2015 when the Flames were in a playoff hunt ownership was fine with trading Glencross. But then they changed their mind over the coming years and ordered Brad to be competitive and not build for the future.
