After that, the most likely scenario is that Florida's 2025 1st Rounder goes to us, because it only slides to 2026 if it's a lottery pick. In that case, Montreal gets the better 2025 1st rounder, unless Calgary's pick is in the top 10 (in which case Montreal gets Florida's pick).
In the unlikely scenario that Florida sucks and their 2025 pick is a lottery pick, it opens the door for Calgary to potentially lose their own first round pick to Montreal which will NOT be lottery protected and potentially a fourth rounder (with the exception of Calgary's 1st being 1st overall, in which case the 1st rounder slides to 2026 -- the better of Calgary's or Florida's -- plus Montreal also gets a third rounder). Meanwhile, if our own 2025 1st Rounder is NOT 1st overall, it looks like we would KEEP Florida's 2026 (not protected).
