So if Buffalo wants an extra 1st ++, here's a way for them to make that happen.

They do, if they fit the cap and the team. The only team who paid a first for one player last year was Toronto, and they got a cheaper player. Like I mentioned, Hall, a superior player to Foligno, got a second. With the strength of the next couple drafts, those firsts are going to be harder to acquire.
And yeah, I suppose if Buffalo’s been asking for two firsts like the rumours have been, this is a way they’d get it.
A lot has to do with negotiations with Tkachuk and the Flames’ opinion on his cost and potential of re-signing going forward.
