To Flames: 2025 first-round pick, 2024 third-round pick, Seamus Casey, Vitek Vanecek/Akira Schmid

might not work for Calgary, but a realistic alternative :

To Devils: Jacob Markstrom, Chris Tanev
To Flames: 2024 second-round pick, Alex Holtz, Vitek Vanecek

might work, as Jersey gets their full 'ask'. Calgary takes the more expensive goalie and a lesser pick for the prospect with a higher ceiling. Everyone wins?
No where near enough, IMO. Leave the 1st and 3rd (and the cap dump), and insert Holtz for Casey, and it's reasonable.
