What is your point here? I am not saying the flames do this deal now but it could be part of their rebuild strategy over the next couple of years. They could have a superstar Dman in Parekh and goalie in Wolf in 3 years so maybe then they could go after whatever Eichel or Pettersson is on the market. I am just saying having multiple picks and a good prospect base along with cap space are the very best assets to have when looking to acquire a young budding star.
