I think from the Flames perspective, if we have a good year and make some moves at the deadline we will want our upcoming first. I imagine from a value standpoint, teams getting a pick in the upcoming draft is more enticing over a pick 3 years from now. The odd's of that FLA pick being a top pick is super low and I think GM's know that. That is going to be a good team for the foreseeable future. The only chance it could be high would be due to injuries but its still lottery protected anyways.
