But if we for example had the 45th overall pick, we likely draft someone that they had ranked in the 1st. Which you would hope has a greater probability of turning into a player. So ya, I don't think the ranking of the player changes the value of the trade. Sorry that upset you.

How do you know the Flames didn’t have Morin and Suniev ranked in the top 40, or first round for that matter?
