Right now, they are in the 19th overall spot. That could change depending on the results of the playoffs.
The Conference finalists automatically get the last 4 spots in the draft order. The champion picks 31st, the loser of the Final picks 30th, the higher-ranked loser of the Conference Finals picks 29th, and the lower-ranked loser of the Conference Finals picks 28th.
For every one of Montreal, Chicago, or Arizona that makes the Conference Finals the Flames would move up one spot in the draft order if the Flames don't make the Conference Finals.
If the Flames lose the Conference Finals, they'd pick 28th unless Montreal also loses the Conference Finals, in which case, the Flames would pick 29th.
If the Flames lose the Stanley Cup Final, they'll pick 30th, and if they win the Cup, they'll pick 31st.
