Plus, they'd be trading high for both of them. A rarity for this franchise. And this is a better draft, especially in the first round.
Everyone expected the Flames to do what they did today. But some had hope for something better.

again, I just don't understand this argument. It's not like teams have been shelling out assets for players with another year on their deal ... Nashville got a 2nd each for Niederreiter and Granlund. That's not a whole lot.
In the summer, you can give them permission to talk contract with another team, which might max out the value. I highly doubt you could get more for Toffoli or Hanifin now than in the summer.
