Great post Stemit14! And I’ll add, that a bonus of trading Markstrom and Andersson for 10 and 11 is that it also helps ensure the 2025 and 2026 picks are even higher, potentially top 3-5, which increases the likelihood of drafting that #1 centre in the next drafts (I don’t think there is a high likelihood of getting a #1 centre in this draft outside of 1st overall)
Trading good players now not only helps us get more picks in the top 12 this year (potentially) but also gets the flames closer to a better pick next year. Win/win for me other than the potentially terrible Flames team ahead for the next couple of years.
