Their 1st is the 32nd pick right now... I don't think it has that much value to be the centerpiece in a big rental acquisition. Maybe enough to get Tanev.
And I agree, not expecting one of those two prospects to be coming to Cgy. Bottom line is that the canucks don't seem like a great trading partner. Beyond those two they don't have many appealing assets that fit this deal.
I would guess Flames are more likely to end up trading with a team that has a pick or recent draftee from the 10-25th range they are willing to move or for a younger NHLer as they surely won't land a top 10 level pick or prospect for Lindholm and a late first as the centrepiece isn't enough
Also, Kuzmenko is a UFA end of next year... he makes zero sense for the rebuilding flames unless they see him as another rental for next year they can build value in, but certainly not a key part of the return
