More likely the Flames are adding picks if they get Mercer in a trade than adding more players on top of Tanev.
What those picks are and their worth I am not sure.

Ewww no!
The Flames need the extra picks. Do not trade that 2024 1st.
I get people see the Hronek deal and how it’s worked for Vancouver but there’s a massive difference between the two teams.
The Flames do not have a Quinn Hughes or an Elias Pettersson they’re trying to compliment. They need to draft those players, and they need extra “bullets” in the chamber to take shots at drafting them. Dawson Mercer is not that player.
If you want to trade Hanifin or Tanev for a player like Mercer, I’m not entirely against that but the focus has to be on giving our scouting staff the opportunity to find players of a skill level we don’t yet have.
