Which all goes back to the point that the Flames do not regularly trade away picks. Trying to include a trade down which actually added picks is more than a stretch, it’s gaslighting.
And more to the point, getting a guy who makes under $5M and scores at a decent middle six clip, while playing a good 200 foot game, when you are ranked as a contender and the 2 seed in the west is not a dumb move. And more so when the pick traded statistically doesn’t get you a better player long or short term.
