Edit- Hell, you're not getting a team's back to back first round picks either. Team's just don't mortgage the future like this anymore. You can't if your goal is to compete. You need players on ELCs stepping up to contribute on a regular basis.

You’re probably right. I am including an extension for Hanifin though so, in this proposal, only Lindholm is a possible rental. I have not seen many consecutive first round pick trades in the past but it could happen. Many teams have gone multiple years without first round picks by making separate trades though… this is a single trade for a 1a/1b center and a top 2/3 defenceman.
I have no idea if you’re right about Stankoven. It might be impossible to get him. I’m trying to come up with a scenario where the flames could get an A-level prospect from trading these pieces. Combining them seems like a way to potentially do it. The picks could possibly be altered to make it look better for Dallas. Also, what if Lindholm was extended (although, my understanding is that he wants to test free agency):
To Dallas:
Hanifin (50% retained for the rest of the year and extended)
Lindholm (50% retained for the rest of the year and extended)
2025 3rd round pick
To Calgary:
2024 1st round pick (lottery protected)
2025 2nd round pick (becomes a first round pick if Dallas makes it past the 1st round)
Stankoven
Dadonov (salary dump)
