Backlund for Newhook (Colorado)
Hanifin for 13 + Rosen (Buffalo)
Lindholm (50% retained) for 23 + Lafreniere (New York)
Toffoli for 30 + Drury (Carolina)
Trade 4 of the UFAs. Get 4 young pieces that are NHL ready or close to it (Newhook, Lafreniere, Drury, Rosen) and end up with 4 1sts in the draft (13, 16, 23, 30)
Forwards: Huberdeau, Kadri, Coleman, Mangiapane, Dube, Newhook, Lafreniere, Drury, Coronato, Pelletier, Duehr, Ruzicka, Rosen
Dmen: Weegar, Anderson, Kylington, Tanev, Zadorov, Gilbert
Goalies: Markstrom, Wolf, Vladar
And 3 1st round picks and $12M in extra cap space. Honestly I don't think the short term or long term outlook of that team is much worse.

Would be pretty amazing to pull that off. Drafting 13th, 16th, 23rd, and 30th would instantly shoot Calgary up into the upper echelon of prospect pools IMO. To come out of this draft with any two of Perreault, Moore, Wood, Sale, Yager, Danielson, Barlow or Simashev would be a monster draft on its own.
We’ll have to see. If teams know that Conroy has to trade these guys, it might make other GMs decide to make him wait till after the draft when he is more desperate.
