Also, I believe all the prospects traded in these deals were draft+1. I believe it was dino who said later 1sts are overrated and he would prefer prospects or young players showing promise. I don't see much of a difference between a 2023 1st some other team drafted and a 2024 1st the Flames draft. At least with your own pick you get proper scouting and a large pool to chose from.
