I guess it does depend on where things fall.
Using the Puckpedia pick calculator, a 29th and 92nd pick is worth around 13.4. 26th and 107th is worth 14.8.
At 25 or 26, I think it would be better for the Flames. Once you get to 27th the point value is around a 4th pick and at that point not worth the risk or bother of having the Oilers in the WCF.
I think all the division leaders would have to be outed to get that 25th. Probably worth revisiting after we know the outcome of the Vegas Dallas series.
