Kylington & 54 for Nichuskin, RW solved, Dallas gets defense depth and pairs Oliver with his buddy Oduya.
Pick Juolevi at 6 if Tkachuk or Dubois don't fall to us
Sign Reimer at free agency or MAF for our 2 seconds (35 & 56)
Gives us unreal prospect depth at Defense if we pick Juolevi, great size/compete level if we pick one of the forwards at 6.

I don't know about Nichuskin specifically but I like this line of thinking. If the BPA at 6 is arguably a D and we already have a good stable of D prospects then they become currency. The Flames get the F they need without depleting their prospect base. In fact, getting an older F in exchange for drafting a younger D lines up better with the Flames' demographic needs.
