I don't think hes a top 50 prospect. Probably between 50-100.
And yeah they don't have to, no team does, but they should feel more motivated then almost any team to start making some big steps.
Theyve missed playoffs for 8 years, they have big holes on the backend, and a wealth of young centers.

If last year tought is anything, its teams do not give up their top prospects.
The Flames didn’t get Lerkermaki for Lindholm, the Flames didn’t get Stankoven/Bouque for Tanev, the Flames didn’t get Dorofeyev for Hanifin, the Flames didn’t get Mercer for Markstrom.
The Flames did get Bzrutevich but, I believe, that had to do, in part, that Bzrutevich let it be known he wasn’t happy with the Canucks not giving him a look he believed he deserved in camp nor did he see a path for himself there.
