Yeah it's not easy...but:
2024:
If the Flames draft 20-32 (inlcusive) then Montreal can choose that pick. If they don't choose that pick:
2025:
If the Flames and Panthers picks are not top-10, Montreal will receive the earlier of the two picks.
If the Flames pick is top-10 and Florida's is NOT top-10, Montreal gets Florida's pick.
IF Calgary does not get Florida's 2025 pick (which means it slid to 2026), and Calgary's pick is NOT in the top-10, then Montreal gets the Calgary 2025 1st...and then there's more complicated stuff tied to Florida's pick but the gist of it all is that:
1. If Calgary picks in the top-19 in 2024, Calgary keeps their pick.
2. If Calgary picks in the top-10 in 2025, Calgary keeps their pick - and the depending on the Florida pick, Calgary will give up their 2026 1st round pick and their 2025 3rd round pick.
So the Flames are still perfectly fine from a draft pick position to suck in 2024 and 2025.
The biggest risk to Calgary losing a high pick actually comes in 2026. If we don't get Florida's 2025 pick, and we make both our picks in 2024 and 2025 (top 19 and then top 10), then in 2026 Montreal is getting the better pick regardless of what else happens - so 2026, if Calgary and Florida both suck, could be quite good for Montreal.
I absolutely loathe that Monahan trade. I'd much sooner have had Monahan + Florida's pick than Kadri and lose whatever pick we end up losing (or picks)
