Flames can still draft centers AND spend some draft capital to acquire a RHS center under that age of 24. That's not a made up description, that's a comment straight from the horse's mouth about what he wants to bring in for the team. And I'm all for it.

The odds of drafting a very good young player with a pick in the 20-32 range of the 1st round is low and the odds of hitting on a pick in the 2nd round is almost as likely. If you add a proven player with a late 1st and keep your mid picks, I think that makes sense. I prefer to just trade a guy like Rasmus to get the center though. IMO, we need at least 1 top 5 pick. Adding for the future but subtracting now is the best way to manage this.
