That's the thing.
Based on everything they have said about sticking to their lists, and comments made about where they would have been willing to pick the players they drafted, there is reason to believe that, if they weren't able to acquire Hamilton, the picks probably look like this:
15: ?? (Barzal?)
45: Andersson
52: Kylington
53: ???
(2 3rd round picks)
When you look at who we drafted, vs who we would have drafted anyway, you could argue that the actual cost to the Flames of acquiring Hamilton was:
15th + 53rd + two 3rds
