There are other teams that would have. The Flames were not forced to trade with the particular teams that they did.
Yes, they now have two 1sts and no 4th. Apparently you think they were allocated two 1st by the league… or else that all draft picks are of equal value and it doesn't matter which round they're in.
Every rebuilding team adds vets every year. Show me a case where they haven't.

We traded a 2nd as well. Maybe you forgot that.
No one said trade everyone away in 1 day.
Adding 26 year olds isn’t a rebuild. Adding vets via waivers or free agency when you actually are rebuilding is different. We already have them on the roster and trying to retool around them. Because 35 year olds centers win cups carrying a team.
