For instance, the Seahawks this year came into the draft with #26 overall.
Traded #26 for #31 and a 3rd (95th) and 7th.
Then traded #31 for #34 and a 4th.
They turned #26 into:
a 2nd (#34), a 3rd (#95), a 4th (#111), and a 7th. This would be best case scenario for the Flames, IMO. Turn #16 into #30, a 2nd and a 3rd, or something like that.

I can see this type of thing happening, and then using some of those picks to get a goalie or two.
16th overall is too much for a Grubauer, Raanta, Pickard, Mrazek or what have you, but if you drop down and grab extra picks you have more ammo.
16 for 18 & 53 (Boston)
18 for 25 & 58 & 85 (Montreal)
25 for 27 & 51 (Blues)
New picks:
1st - 25
2nd - 51, 53, 58
3rd - 85
4th - 109
5th - 140
6th - 171
7th - 202
25 + Rittich for Mrazek or Lehner (Similar to Frederick Andersen trade)
58 + 85 for Raanta or Grubauer (Similar to Cam Talbot trade)
Then you still get two mid 2nd round picks and 6 picks total.
