3. Laine (2) traded
4. Sergachev (9) traded
5. Brown (12)
6. Puljujarvi (4)
7. Juolevi (5)
The Habs made a pretty bad trade for Drouin and the Jets just made their move but I think it will be a better overall move for them. Puljujarvi has already requested a trade once. I haven’t really followed Brown and Juolevi is just playing in the league now and looking pretty mediocre. Tkachuk and Matthews are each teams respective franchise player.
It couldn’t have worked out better for Calgary where they were positioned and it was thanks to the Oilers and Canucks completely whiffing on their picks that made it possible

Interesting to look at a re-draft (

The Flames would have 3 guys they drafted in the top round now
Tkachuk #2
Fox #5
Dube #18
Dang. The Flames' scouts did their job on that day!
