I don’t mind the premise, but I think the return’s aren’t realistic.
If the Flames win 1OA, I think there is good reason to think there would be a deal on the table with the Sens for the pick. I don’t think the Flames should expect 3 & 5. Bare in mind the Flames offered 6, 22 & 28 for MacKinnon and based on the reports I’ve read, Lafreniere doesn’t project to be at the same level as MacKinnon. Why would the Sens pay more for less?
I have a hard time believing the Sabres would offer, essentially, two top 10 picks for two years of JG. Also, I think the flames would be looking for a player to address a current roster need, not picks. Cozens & Montour or Miller. They get a A level prospect and a RHS D.
