If the Flames mangage to get the 1st overall pick they have a lot of options as they have the possibility of prying a 2nd round pick from the Avs or Panthers for the opportunity to guarantee Jones as I expect both teams will highly covet him over Drouin and MacKinnon. Eric Duhatschek was talking about that this morning.

The Flames would be stupid not to doe this. At the end of the day the Flames are in a better position with either of the so called top 3 prospects. They don't need 1 immediate need, they need them all. So as long as one falls to them they should be happy.
Best case scenario is the following. Flames are 1st overall, trade down to #2 and get a 2nd round asset. Flames then trade down to 3rd overall and get another 2nd round asset. So essentially a top 3 prospect plus 2 high 2nd round picks.
