Flames potentially have already drafted well enough and have enough pieces to make it hard for them to pick top 3-5. Wolf alone might actually prevent against that if he keeps this up.
A true bottom out and pick top 3 might not be on the cards so they have to keep all avenues open (just don't move any of your own picks). Keep selling the aging assets, and keep accumulating the U-25 assets, as long as they stick to that strategy it will be fine.

I think it should be a blanket ban on trading away any high picks. Adding mid-tier players at the expense of quality draft capital is just impatience in my eyes, and it makes it significantly more difficult to acquire the quality of player the Flames actually need.
I could maybe be convinced that if someone on par with a Jack Eichel is on the market, then get a seat at the table. That's an organizational shifting trade. That's not what Pinto, that's not what any of these rumoured names are.
