Imagine having a capped out team, that has the 10th oldest roster, the 9th worst point percentage and wanting to keep anyone that is older than 25.
Obviously you can't trade them all away, some are unmovable, some wouldn't be willing to move, there is still a salary floor to hit and there may be a few players older than 25 that will actually still be useful in 5 years time.
But man, the Flames neeeeeeeeed to stockpile draft picks for multiple years. That is their only chance at finally building a legit and sustainable contending team.
