While the reality that you couldn't win back to back 1st overalls is real and something I forgot about - in that hypothetical scenario that you did somehow acquire both Wright and Bedard:
I would move Lindholm to Bedard's RW actually, and Dube to Wright's LW. It's okay to move centres to the wing if you have better centres.
Mangiapane - Bedard - Lindholm
Dube - Wright - Coleman
Pellettier - Backlund - ??
Not sure what the problem is. Looks like a rocksolid core. Even if you only get one out of the two though, and you end up hooped with a lesser pick this year
Mangiapane - Bedard - 4-7th OA pick
Dube - Lindholm - Coleman
Pellettier - Backlund - ??
Still not a bad place to be.

There's zero chance Flames are gonna have Bedard or Wright when they can't and won't tank at the opportune times. Even when given the opportunity to get an elite player, it never happened. Now with Sutter running the show behind the bench, there's absolutely no chance in hell the Flames will position themselves for a high lottery pick in the next two years. Nobody in their right mind would trade their positional picks away in a deep draft year with generational hyped prospects involved. Keep dreaming if you think that's gonna happen.
