Why are we moving picks for the Farabee and Frost's of the league vs using our competitive advantage to find our next generation of stars. Why are we trying to get mid level players vs just more picks?
Even if we arent tearing down, the failure to acquire more draft picks the last 2 years while also trading some is a failure to me.

Oh noes, he traded a 2nd and "equiv" 3rd (actually a 7th plus a 28 year old cap dump and Pelletier, who is now 24 and dropped in production) for 24 and 25 year old players, when we could have drafted guys who would play at 24 or 25 with those picks. And of course, you could never trade those guys for a 2nd and 3rd.
Seriously, it was a 2nd and players Calgary didn't want for two potentially valuable assets. Calgary got overall younger with that move and gave up one meaningful pick.
