So Flames could have had Barzal/Boeser and Mike Smith for the 1st and 2nds traded for Hamilton.

I would have traded those two seconds for a ~25th-30th overall and drafted Brandon Carlo who I was high on that year. He turned out to be exactly what I saw as a prospect. Boeser/Carlo/Andersson/Kylington/Mangiapane would have been a hell of a draft.
Going back to that offseason, and fastforwarding to now,
My D would probably look like:
Giordano - Carlo
Kulak - Brodie
Del Zotto - Andersson
Nakladal
My F would probably look like:
Gaudreau-Monahan-Ferland
Tkachuk-Bennett-Boeser
Byron-Backlund-Jankowski
Stajan-Dube-(Lazar?)
I dunno if I'd change anything about goaltending. I'm pretty satisfied with Smith-Rittich-Parsons and I think we're setup for now and the future.
