I would argue more could be done (trading Rasmus) to both manage that asset and solidify their falling down to the bottom this season. I’m hoping the situation takes care of itself with the pre trade deadline schedule, forcing the Flames hand again.
I don’t fault management in Conroy’s regime, but I’m still annoyed with the results so far this season.

But you can't trade Rasmus for a poor value just to try to move down the standings. At least I don't think that's the right approach.
It also doesn't cost the Flames a first. It costs them an earlier first. Which right now the gap is 7 spots in the draft.
