If we can get a top-5 pick in 2024, and then again a pick in the 30's with the 2nd rounder, it's massive.

Calgary got late first round picks for Iggy and Boumeester also.
Other than the top top picks, even players that pan out often take 4-5years to really establish themselves.
Assuming Calgary rebuilds ( and it’s surprising that this is still in doubt), it won’t be quick.
But much better to start with a bevy of extra picks than none at all.
But I actually expect Calgary to climb back into the playoff race. They simply are not that bad. I just hope it doesn’t prevent the flames from doing what needs to be done.
