Did Arizona do that in one move, or two? I can't remember. That's a bargain for Arizona in my opinion - 18 spots for two 2nd round picks. Detroit's price was heftier - a 2nd and a 5th for 8 spots.
I know if I am a team considering trading down, it seems way more palatable dropping down 5 or 6 spots. If they can't find a team willing to trade down far enough, maybe they can do a couple of trade-ups at 5-8 spots a shot until they get there.
I do agree that the Flames should do their best to move up the draft - I do think they find diamonds deep in the draft, but I would rather they go for quality over quantity if possible.
