Difference between a pick that could be 10-16 vs a pick that is 25-32 is huge, it's like the value of adding at least another 2nd into a deal.

Trading up from 25 to 10-12 at the draft likely takes more than a 2nd.
This is why waiting on deals makes no sense if you plan to do them at some point. Flames have played their way out of the top 3 discussion likely even if they sell off soon. Best case is looking more like we will finish 4-10 spot. Longer this takes the less likely #1 CGY 24 is a top 5 pick. But we will wait to add 2nds rather than 3rds because the value of a 2nd is so much higher than a 3rd? Makes no sense to me unless they are trying to make the playoffs which I think is a mistake.
