The scarcity mindset amazes me. Most if not all stars and elite legends of the game are the highest draft picks. They are the guys winning cups, sometimes numerous cups. Being scared to take a shot at landing those players is insane to me. Are you that afraid of a few years of pain? I have news for you, the Flames are going to suck anyways, they might as well get something for it.
