Throw an "if" in there.
If the Flames were offered 4 first round picks for Toffoli and said no they're idiots!
I can get on board with that.
But they likely valued the players that would return 1sts (if they were even available) more than drafting 28th and waiting four years for a 50% bet.

I’m not pretending to know what was offered.
My point is, there will need to be cap casualties this off-season anyway. Some hard roster decisions are coming. This would have been an opportune time to get in front of those decisions, create some flexibility, and get some assets in a heck of a draft, even if they’re picks in the latter end of the first. Those will be the same picks they’re offered next year regardless.
