Oh man, I would LOVE for this to go down. And not just because of the obvious benefit to the Flames. What a way to heat up a rivalry! And a perfect cure for tanking.
They should do this with every team, each year. Pair em up with the closest team in the standings and swap next season's draft picks. You'd have a new rivalry each season. And because you're still getting the draft pick of the team closest to you in the previous year's standings, you'd still, in theory, be getting the help through the draft that you need to be competitive.
