Put another way, under BT they always seemed to be making desperate moves, in order to get ahead "now", and in so doing were sacrificing our future, by giving up too many picks and awarding expensive contracts.

BT 100% jumped the gun after making the second round in 2015. I know hindsight is 20/20 but trading away a handful of high picks early into your window was not a prudent move. Despite success drafting the Flames never really had a second crop of prospects join the team other than Tkachuck.
