So it's not MacKinnon vs three front-line NHLers. It's likely MacKinnon vs a 2nd line center + an average roster player. Which is why the Avs said no thanks.

I fully agree. To add to it there is no guarantee that the flames pick at 22 and 28. For all we know Feaster might trade one of the picks for a young 2nd line player. With the other pick they might take Fucale. To many variables that could happen with the latter picks.
