Here's someone who did
a trade-value chart for NHL picks similar to what they have for NFL picks. You can dig into their methodology yourself if you want, but for the purpose of this discussion, 29+80 = 151.8 + 22.07 = 173.87 which is the 26th pick. So a realistic expectation of trading those two picks is to move up 3-4 spots in the draft.
To get to 12th (324.46 points) the Flames would need to do something like 24+42+55 (The Canucks pick + Flames 2nd + Dallas 2nd if both the Canucks and Dallas have bad playoffs, I don't even know if that Dallas pick can be 55th, can it?)
This calculator:
https://puckpedia.com/pickvalue gives lower values for later picks and indicates that a late 1st and two 2nds don't equal the 12th overall pick, so the idea of packaging picks together to get two top-12 picks is not a reality. We'd need to include players / prospects to get to the value needed.
