Flames could pull off multiple deals like that this deadline if they wanted to.
Backlund at 2.6
Lindholm at 2.4
Toffoli at 2.1
Hanifin at 2.4
Tanev at 2.2
Zadorov at 1.8
Obviously you can’t trade everybody, but the options are there. Teams that are going all in the next two seasons should be licking their chops at this.

I just feel that with how hard everyone is hyping this draft class we won't be seeing many first round picks handed out this year.
