If the Flames received a 2024 1st and a 2024 3rd with zero conditions, would this trade have been acceptable to you?
The conditions on the first just determines if the Flames get the pick in one or two years. That doesn't seem like anything to get worked up about. The condition on the third just moves it up a round in the very likely event Vegas wins a round. That also seems fairly benign.
Getting future picks is a good move in my mind. Opens up the possibility of the pick being higher, or having more time to move it for something else, or just spreading out draft capital to keep the system full. Nothing wrong with that IMO!
