No they did not.
Calgary traded their 1st in 2008 & 2nd in 2009 to Los Angeles for Mike Cammalleri & a 2nd in 2008 (the Flames own pick that LA got in the Conroy trade).
Then later that day the Kings flipped the 17th to Anaheim.
I will also add that the Flames traded the 17th prior to the draft starting, they had no idea Eberle (or anyone else) would still be available at #17. Because in the mock drafts I have been able to find only 1 had Eberle falling as far as 17th.
