I don't know how Weekes's brain works, but if it were me, the only players I would describe as a "former first round pick" in the context of a trade like this would be Coronato, Zary, and Pelletier. Valimaki is possible, but I'd consider him far-enough removed from the draft that it's not how I would define him.

I doubt Weekes used the term to be coy. It's more-likely that the Flames have literally told Buffalo they can have their pick of one of those players and it's up to them to decide.
