The problem is banking on the Flames to find another MT and JG in those spots is very low as well

Well an elite player is never easy to draft...but elite wingers tend to go in that 4-10 range.
Marner was 4th OV, Nylander was an 8th, Rantanen was 10 OV, Tkachuk was 6th, Pastrnak was 25th, Kucherov was 2nd round, Gaudreau was 4th round,
The more picks you have the easier it is to hit though.
If I'm equating the previous rebuild and this rebuild the 2024 season is our 2013 season. (2013 we traded Iginla and Bouwmeester, 2024 we traded Hanifin, Lindholm, and Tanev). I don't want the Flames even thinking about trading a 1st round pick until the 2030 draft...unless its for a top prospect (like if they traded for Cutter Gauthier).
