Make sure you guys are reading the original post right, all three 1sts aren't in play, we would retain St. Louis' 1st in this hypothetical deal.

I would be interested in this if it landed the Flames the #1 pick. The comparison between Mackinnon and Monahan or Lindholm is worth the 30th pick, a 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th.

The Flames have more than enough 3-7th round question marks in the system right now, but no gaurenteed franchise players.

Mackinnon fits in great with Sven and Brodie for the future of the Flames.
