Flames have been doing well with these picks too. We are up a 1st and a 3rd already, but if we sold 3-5 players, we could be up several picks in many rounds for the next 3 years.

We need the top 5 pick more than anything though.
In my mind the Flames don’t have many veterans worth trading anymore. Most of them are pretty old.

- Coleman
- Andersson
- Kadri
- Weegar

Outside of that you have younger guys you probably don’t want to trade:

- Bahl
- Wolf
- Coronato
- Honzek
- Parekh
- Gridin
- Klapka
- Pospisil
- Zary

Guys who for various reasons at this point are untradeable:

- Frost
- Farabee
- Huberdeau
- Backlund
- Cooley
- Sharangovich

And scrubs no one would probably ask about

- Bean
- Pachal
- Hanley
- Lomberg
- Kirkland

So not that many bullets left in the chamber to get 1st round picks. Maybe 3 or 4. If you pump all of them out this season what do you do next year?

Even if you get first round picks for the 4 appealing vets they are going to be in the top half of the draft. 16-32 range.

Flames are running out of bullets.
