It was only, what, 2-3 drafts ago the Flames traded down twice to gain two extra 3rd round picks?
Again, I’m sure they’re aware of the value of draft picks. Generally speaking, yes, having more picks is better than not. But are there guys they actually want to pick, or are they doing nothing more than rolling the dice and placing faith in blind hope? There is a difference.
Also, a ‘much’ better shot? If you went to 7-11 tonight and bought three more scratch and win tickets would you regally feel like you had a ‘much’ better shot at winning something/anything?
