The only Trade up I could see the Flames making is to #2 if Ekblad is their guy and Florida already picks a Sam.
I think they would only offer something like a third, to move up 2 spots.
Buffalo would be thinking, if they stay.
1 Sam?'
2 Sam?
3 Ekblad
4 Draisaitl
or if they trade
1 Sam?
2 Ekblad
3 Draistaitl
4 Sam? + a 3rd. Same player + an extra pick
I think when the players are this close the teams usually have a better idea of who the other teams, "guy" is than one would think. So Buffalo would know if this would actually play out right
