currently 12th 15th and 23rd
I think columbus does that deal, they already have a deep prospect pool and if they believe there is an impact player available at the flames pick i think they would trade up to get him.
for the flames it makes sense too, adding 5 first rounders (currently 12th, 15th, 20th, 23rd, and 29th), would instantly transform the flames into one of the deepest prospect pools in the league.
would you do it? and if not how high would the flames pick have to be before you would?

Definitely would not do it unless all the potential franchise centres were taken before our pick. As long as MacKinnon, Barkov, Monahan or Lindholm are on the board I wouldn't deal down.
Too many potential franchise guys in the top 8 or so this year to consider dealing out of it IMO. This could be our one and only shot at drafting someone really special.
Would you deal a guy like Toews for three 2nd liners? To me that is kind of what you are suggesting we do. Unless we really hit one out of the park with those later 1sts you are dealing a potential top line talent for guys who don't have that same upside. We already have two extra 1sts to increase our prospect depth with. I can't imagine dealing out of the top 8, not a fan of that idea.
