I agree the proposal isn't quite right. That's why I said something along those lines.
The thought process is neither the Flames nor a team in the 6-10 range wants to pay the full price of going up to #1.
In a win win win scenario, the Flames and the other team combine assets. The Flames move to #1. The other team upgrades their pick. The Panthers get what they want.
