Means you could get two of Jost, Keller, Brown, Mcleod, Sergachev, Chychrun, Fabbro, Bean, or Juolevi.

This team has lots of depth prospects and a new infusion of high end talent would really round out the prospect base.

We could trade 6 + 95 to Carolina for 13 & 21. Carolina looks to move up to get one of the big 3 defensemen or Nylander.

Then trade 21 and 65 for Minnesota's pick at 15, Minnesota doesn't have a 2nd or 3rd rounder currently so it makes sense for them.

The trades tend to work using the draft value chart (http://statsportsconsulting.com/main...Draftchart.pdf).

Would leave the Flames with 13, 15, 35, 53, 55 in the first two rounds, plus they would still have ammo to move back up from 15 into the 9/10/11 range if they preferred a guy at that number (technically 15 + 53 should be able to get you into the 10/11 range).
I think I like what you are suggesting, but it might cost a bit more than you anticipate. If I am Carolina, I want a 2nd along with 6 OA to give up 13+21, the Dallas pick should work there. I also think you probably need to give Minny 21 and 53(instead of 65), to get 15.

So we would be trading 6+53+55 for 13+15. I would probably be fine with that if Dubois and Tkachuk are gone at 6.
