Yes, I understand how he interpreted that, but trading a couple late 1st round picks for a players will help the Flames be more competitive and therefore reduce the likelihood of the team picking high with its own 1st round pick.
It just locks this team up in the middle again. Not good enough to compete for the Cup, not bad enough to get a high 1st rounder.
