Yeah those trade proposals from JMac are eye-popping, there's no way Conroy is giving up our 1st this year AND Hanifin just to move up 2-3 spots in the draft and take back Forwards who put up less points than Hanifin.

If the deal can be structured around adding another 1st and a prospect like Tomasino or Krebs then I think we have a solid framework for a deal, maybe at that point the Flames look to add slightly.

I feel like a more realistic option is that Hanifin ends up in Detroit, and we end up with the 17th overall pick and maybe Zadina or another prospect, which still Leaves Detroit with their 7th overall pick and gets them another stud prospect. Also that would give the Flames two picks in a row 16/17 which we could use to draft a Defenseman and a Center (in a perfect world, Pellikka/Willander and Yager) or whoever else has dropped lower than expected.
