Pick a side, a perennial contender or a middle of the pack mediocre team which the Flames have consistently been and keep your picks which most of the time don't change the course of your team unless if they're a sure fire top 3 pick.

Kucherov was a late 2nd round pick, Point was a 3rd rounder, Palat was a 7th rounder. No way they win those cups without those guys. I'm betting that Tampa is pretty happy they didn't trade away those picks.
