A month ago at the trade deadline, the general feeling around the Calgary Flames was that people would like to see them make upgrades, but not for the cost of moving top prospects. This line of thought does have some merit to it. If you’re a rebuilding team, obviously you don’t want to trade every prospect for some rentals. The idea of rebuilding is to build up that young base. That said, I don’t believe the Flames are in that position anymore. They are in a spot where leveraging those young players to contend now makes sense.
