The safer, and better long term option, is to pick in the top 10, imo.
Trading away players does three things. It supplies picks and assets, allows young players to get more ice time, and improves the Flames' own 1st round pick.
Montreal could get every top 10 pick and still suck. They are proof positive about what an abject failure trying to lose is. You end up just being losers.
