Leaves our D in “good enough” shape. I would also try to get a couple mid round picks for Vladar as well. Bring in 5 draft picks and backfill Hanifin and Vladar with Kylington and Wolf.
Weegar - Andersson
Kylington - Tanev
Zadorov - Stecher
Stone
Markstrom
Wolf

Yeah I would imagine Hanifin then signs an 8 year extension ($7M AAV?) deal with the Blue Jackets. That then really "stabilizes" their current build of their roster in my eyes. They're loaded prospects, loaded with top-end talent. I think they'd become a big time team in the East.
For Vladar? 2025 3rd round pick + 2023 5th round pick from Buffalo? I don't think that's a bad trade for either side.
If you do those two trades, the Flames would then draft:
1st round: x2
2nd round: x2
3rd round: x1
4th round: x1
5th round: x1
6th round: x1
7th round: x1
The Flames then just have to figure out what they're doing with Lindholm and Backlund...
