I'd rather keep our picks, add more picks/prospects and build that way.
However, I don't mind Hamilton 2015 type trades because the player is young, elite and under control for years. That trade got the Flames an asset that was later flipped for more young high end players in Lindholm and Hanifin who were both here through the Flames contention window and were part of a couple 100+ point division winning teams. They were also later flipped as rentals for a nice haul of futures.
It's the Hamonic 2017 type trades I do not want to see. If we'd had Dobson in the fold it wouldn't have stung as much when Fox forced his way out.
And I also do not want to see a single pick sent out to grab any sort of depth piece or rental piece to add to our current roster. This team is not a contender and that type of trade shouldn't happen. I suspect Conroy has no interest in doing that though.
Please trade Andersson while his value is most likely at it's highest for a juicy chunk of futures.
