Haha. The Flames are more likely do be the one giving away the lottery pick.
In fact they almost did in 2018 when they gave the Isles their 2018 1st rounder at the 2017 draft for Hamonic. That pick ended up as the 12th overall and Carolina won the lottery with the 11th overall pick, moving up 9 spots to get Svechnikov at 2nd overall.
The Flames are always asset poor. They're never the team trading assets they have an abundance of to get extra 1st rounders. The only time they've ever had more than one 1st round pick, or traded for a 1st round pick was in 2013 when they finally did a rebuild.
They always hang onto their assets until they're either worth nothing, or walk away for nothing because they are always "competing" lol.
