As I posted before, whoever Florida picks can possibly trigger Burke/Treliving to trade with Buffalo before or after the first pick. In my eyes, the only way that the Flames grab Ekblad is if Florida picks Bennett:
1. FLA - Bennett
2. CGY - Ekblad (traded with Buffalo, not sure what we'd give... our 2nd?)
3. EDM - Draisaitl
4. BUF - Reinhart
I don't see Buffalo picking Ekblad, so they might as well grab another pick from us who would want him more.
