Having to give up all 3 2nds would be painful. So its probably a fair trade.
They want out of the Hartnell contract (and we could use his grit). How about something like:
#3 + Hartnell for #6 + Colborne + 2nd

If you're giving up less picks then you're likely going to have to give up a very good player. Colborne doesn't come close to fitting that bill. I'd have no problem moving our first and 2 of 3 second round picks to move up 3 spots in the draft. Anything more than that is probably not worth it.
The Flames scouts have done a good job with those later picks recently. I would rather roll the dice at that end then go all in for someone who isn't even the top of the draft class.
