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.

Nice thought, but Sabres already have a couple of 2nd rounders, so that offer's not going to hold much additional appeal.
If the operators of this site have any legitimate connections, apparently the Sabres have interest in Draisaitl:

Supposedly, Florida has already expressed that they'd listen to offers for their 1st overall, but it obviously depends on the asking price.
It's impossible to otherwise imagine any realistic scenario that Ekblad would be available to the Flames. Still, it's possible that baby Reinhart
could.
