But then, if Calgary falls to #3 in a trade with the Avs, they're risking not going to get MacKinnon anyways.
If the Flames win the lottery and want to trade down I think it will be #3 or lower.

Yes. If Florida and Colorado both want Jones badly enough you could pit them against one another. At least bluff and say you're going to take Colorado's offer if Florida doesn't offer you a 2nd + their 1st to move up or whatever.
