Also agree with your other post that Wootherspoon won't get it done. One of the last teams the Oilers want to help out is the flames. It's going to have to be a bit of an overpayment for them to listen. Before someone posts that we should offer a Kylington, Anderson ect. to Columbus for the 3rd pick, i will say Bluejackets won't take that deal.

It will be a different coaching world without Hartley. Wotherspoon has not been bad on his limited call ups he is just not built to generate points.
IF Dubois really is the 6-3 220-225 lb guy that can play in the top-6 ( I am not sold on the skill side of his package as he racked up a bulk of his points (27 in 12 his last games) against the weakest teams in the Q. Then it would absolutely make sense to package a 2nd and a 3rd along with the Flames #6 to move up to #4. I wouldn't at all be disappointing if the Flames pick Tkachuk instead (NHL 6-1 215) playing in a better league in bigger games albeit on a better team.
The Flames have Panthers 2nd round pick around #54 and their own #3 #65
So the Flames give Edmonton #6, #54 and #65 and get to pick Dubois or Tkachuk.
If you think that the draft picks are a reasonable plan then you would have to think that it is not that bad of a deal if the Flames give Edmonton 2016 #6, 2015 (#53) and 2016 (#60).
Without the small all offense defense Hartley system Kylington and Anderssen will be waiting for Brodie or Gio to get injured or trade for their shot at the NHL.
Edmonton picks a D-man with #6 and Nylander falls to at least #7
If the Flames pick #6 They will might be picking Chychrun which would move Anderssen and Kylington down another spot in the Flames d-man depth chart.
Burke has basically come out and said they will not be picking Nylander at #6.
