The Flames are likely to be a bottom 5 team in the league this season and are popular frontrunners for drafting one of Aaron Ekblad or Sam Reinhart. However, it has been circulated that the 2014 draft overall is a much shallower draft past the first 5 prospects.
Assuming Calgary does obtain one of Reinhart or Ekblad and they are able to contribute to the big club immediately and thus manage to somehow put the club into the 5-9 draft pick range for 2015 but they clearly need a game-changing prospect like a McDavid, should the team set their eyes on trying to obtain more first-round picks from the 2015 draft now through trade in a bid to move up through lottery or whatever circumstance in order to obtain better prospects?
