Look back at all the other times the Flames gave up firsts, and you will see they missed out on some incredible players, including Toffoli himself. I highly doubt their scouts are happy about what's been done this year.



I would like to think fans who plan on being here the next 10 years shouldn't be happy either.
This brings us right back to a question I asked earlier that you have yet to answer. You seem very put-out by the fact the Flames moved a first round pick in THIS DRAFT on the premise that this was a sacrifice of "the future." The Flames first round pick is #26 in a marginal draft: so, which player are they missing out on as a result of this trade?
