FLA traded their '22 1st for Reinhart - Top 10 protected. If it were top 10, BUF would have gotten the '23 1st and MTL (Chiarot) would have gotten the '24 1st, which would have pushed PHI (Giroux) to receiving the '25 1st.
But that is mostly wrapped up before the Huberdeau trade since BUF and MTL got the '22 and '23s. The '24 to PHI is still top 10 protected, impacting the '25 that went to MTL via CGY.
I guess this might be the reason for the weird option to change from FLA '25 to CGY '24 1st, if MTL doesn't want to wait until '26. But that only happens if FLA is bad by '24, so it would seem smart to wait for the '26.
It's all really very simple. |
Yes, the rolling to 2026 seems like an assumption based on the stated conditions on CapFriendly. If the FLA '25 1st round pick is not a lottery pick, both PHI and CGY (or MTL, subject to whatever comes out of the Monahan conditions) could claim ownership of it.
How far into the future are teams allowed to trade draft picks?
Can FLA conditionally trade the pick again to some other team?
