Just pouring cold water all over the idea the Flames will be active.
lol "first round picks are going to be ridiculously hard to come by in this draft"
...as Newhook returns a 1st and a 2nd.
Just absolutely hammering the agenda that the Flames aren't going to be able to get additional 1st round picks.

Yes, Newhook returned a 1st, but it’s a very late first and Newhook was high pick himself who is 23 years old.
I believe the narrative is that players in their late twenties will have difficulty returning draft picks in the range up to, say, 20, in the 2023 draft. Teams will want to push these picks to 2024.
I guess we will see today.
