The way to look at it is, if Calgary had the second overall pick and a guaranteed shot at Mackinnon, what would we be happy to take (from say, Florida) to move down to 6th instead?
This takes no less than 6th overall and a TOP prospect. Not Brodie, not Gaudreau (too many question marks). Our pick + Baertschi probably does it. Basically two solid NHL prospects for an elite, blue-chip, star potential prospect. Would you be satisfied with anything else if it was the Flames trading away Mackinnon?
