Rationale: We paid more than this, but got 2.3 years of Toffoli, so subtract 1.3 years and the 30th seems fair value.
To COL Mikael Backlund
To CGY: 27th Overall
Rationale: I don't think Colorado wants to subtract someone like Newhook for someone as old as Backlund - plus they're looking to add in general. Mackinnon/Backlund/Newhook makes sense for them.
To BUF: 13th Overall + Rosen
To CGY: Noah Hanifin
Rationale: This seems like good value and it does sound like Buffalo is after a defenceman to finish their D build.
To NYR: Elias Lindholm (50% retained)
To CGY: Alexis Lafreniere
Rationale: Alexis Lafreniere is effectively what Lindholm was when we acquired him. He seems to not really be fitting in - but the Rangers did just change coaches. For perspective, Lindy had put up about 4 straight seasons of being a .5PPG player while Laf has put up 1 - but Laf is showing progress every year. I still don't think New York does this because Laf has so much potential. It would be short sighted for NYR to do this - but it's a big swing by the Flames, I would love this type of return.
Drafting 4 times in the first round and adding Laf is a dream scenario for me.

Scratch out that NYR trade, and sign him, and I'm all on board.
