This might be an unpopular opinion, but if the Flames do end up with the #16-20th OA pick I am starting to think the smart play is to try and trade down, especially if you can get something like a 1st in the early 20s plus a 2nd.

IMO there really isn't much of a drop off in talent dropping down say 5 to 7 picks and that extra 2nd could be another bullet in the chamber for a draft that Treliving thinks will be deep into the 60th OA pick.

edit: This also assumes no one surprising falls to the Flames.
