Yeah, I agree, I think the condition could be, Flames have option of giving them the 2022 first round pick after the lottery is drawn. If it's 1st or 2nd overall, Flames keep it and Buffalo gets the 2023 first rounder.
It's a fair way to share in the Eichel injury risk but who knows if Buffalo sees it that way. They've been driving hard bargains and getting what they want. Thanks Chuck!
