Would not surprise me at all if the Flames mortgaged a little bit of the now to avoid the embarrassment of watching teams walk up to the podium multiple times before the Flames get up from their seats.
If Hamilton is dealt it's probably on the draft floor for a team picking higher than #15.

Save face?
That's a pretty dramatic take of the coming events. The Flames don't need to do anything but assess every opportunity and make the best call possible in helping the team both next season and into the future.
They still have Hamonic. They still have Smith. The team is a good young hockey team coming off an odd season.
Hopefully Treliving is a lot less persnickety than yourself in preparing for the late June draft.
