Teams concerned about the future shouldn't be losing 11th overall picks. As of now, the pick would be #19. The Flames are tending downward, but I'm not sure if they will trend so far down that they get to a top 10 pick.

But that's not Conroy's doing and therefore doesn't represent a decision he made. They weren't concerned about their future when they made that deal. They were trying to win now.
It is what it is.
If they lose a 13th overall pick it's not great, but it's not the massive disaster some think it is.
And keep in mind they aren't losing the pick outright. They will get the Florida later pick.
