That's basically what I'd do. Trade down with Florida if they take one of Drouin or Jones then trade down #2 to the Aves, Then Draft MacKinnon or Barkov at the #3 spot. I'd also ask them each to throw in a 7th rounder.
If you're wondering why the 7th rounders it's because we were told that during the lockout the Flames reassigned their pro scouts to collegient level hockey. So we should have a good idea about a bunch of NCAA guys I'd use that knowledge to draft the previously undrafted guys (Underclassmen only though) who my scouts believe is going to be the next Dekayser (undrafted guys who in retrospect were worthy of being draft worthy) thus giving us a competative advantage in signing them.
