I would be near stunned if he isn't. But I think Flamin' DBag was just asking how high they could get with the Blues' and Penguins' picks combined, not the Flames' own pick.
So let's say the 22nd and 29th, I think it wouldn't be a terrible bet believing that it could climb you high enough to draft Zadorov or Pulock in that early teen area. For some precedence, the Sabres traded the 21st and 42nd last year for the Flames' 14th. I don't know if I would like that though. Zadorov would solve the size problem but there's enough depth in this draft that I'd like the Flames to be able to roll 2 dice instead of 1.
I'd be perfectly happy if they used one of those picks to climb up with the Flames' pick and got into the big 4 territory but otherwise I'd be fine with staying where they are with the other 2 and hopefully grabbing a couple of players like Morrissey, Domi, Lazar, Hagg (who that one NHL dude somehow ranked 6th), Horvat, Hartman and anyone who falls a bit. Gauthier would be fun to have just to center Gaudreau for the foot and some difference between them.
