When a team is where the flames are now, I would always move a first
How often does a team look this good? And in calgary's case have what looks to be a great path to round 2, and probably the best path to conference finals of anyone
Forward group is young but gio is 35, who knows how long he will be this good, and he is the most important asset not only for what he does, but what he does for brodie, and allowing easier matchups down the pairings
This may be the best chance the flames get, you never know
The Ottawa guys would definitely be a 1st ++ but some of the other players, be it rentals or guys with term, that can play top 6 or top 9 minutes, could be a big difference
Losing pick, let's say 27, which according to this from tsn on draft values
https://www.tsn.ca/statistically-spe...lues-1.1119528
Has a 60% chance to play 100 games, and a 16% chance to be top 6, or top 4d
Should do it everytime, if you think the team has a legitimate chance
