Honest question.
How do you choose to spend your money? Do you ever eat out at a restaurant? Buy new clothes, or are you still wearing the shirt you got as a gift four years ago? Drink beer? You could save a bunch of money if you stuck to water, you know.
You’re only setting yourself up for disappointment if you think the Flames should never trade a draft pick, ever.
The team deserves it. They’ve played above expectations, fairly significantly in the eyes of many. What do you think the guys in the room want to see? What does doing nothing say to them? Or maybe you’re right and that shouldn’t matter anyway, right. I’m sure the players want to play for a team that just hoards draft picks and cares less about being competitive even though that’s the very characteristic they look for in the players themselves.
If the Flames expect/want their players to prioritize competitiveness, it would be pretty hypocritical of them not to do it themselves.
