And then Aaron Portzline (53,000 followers) suggested Calgary might be able to land the No. 3 pick from Columbus in a deal for Elias Lindholm.
I still doubt the pick is traded, but it seems that the pick could conceivably be on the table. However, if Columbus is hiring Babcock, then I really doubt that Lindholm would want to remain in Columbus moving forward.

While I could conceivably see them moving that pick, I expect it would be for a younger player with more years of control, than an older one that would need a long term contract at big bucks as part of the deal.
Also, nothing seems to point to Calgary looking to get younger, better and cheaper. If they feel they need to move Lindholm, I expect it will be for more current assets.
