Flames just need to not deal draft picks for like 3 or 4 years. Absolutely stuff the cupboards with the amateur scouting department they have. Its a strength.
Stop bleeding picks trying to fill holes before the core is ready.
Its simple.
Thats doesnt mean you dont deal picks if a deal like the Hamilton trade pops up, thats a good kind of trade. Its the Hamonic, Elliott, Gustavsson, Forbort trades that nip you in the butt. Or any deal that send out 2nd round picks like the Flames have a penchant for.
