Best case scenario for this season is a top-3 pick and we are right on track 10 games in. Please Flames, don't change a thing. Celebrini and Eiserman both look like gamebreakers, Demidov too. Then there's a bunch of great defensemen in the 1st round, in the top-10 especially.
Would love to see us make trades for more 1st's with teams in the East that have no guarantee's of playoffs, like a Buffalo trade for Hanifin/Vladar, or even better a Washington or Columbus trade for Lindholm.
I'm also in the same boat as others who have said they would prefer trading these guys earlier in the season. Gives teams more time to get their new players adjusted to the team, and also gives us less risk of injuries screwing things up, and more things to be excited about all season with those early returns (hopefully picks+).
