Just for posterity:

Flames/Panthers/Habs 1st Round Pick conditions around Treliving’s parting gift of the Monahan trade:

- If the Flames and Panthers picks are outside of the Top 10, the Habs will receive the higher of the two picks in 2025 (highest potential pick traded away: 11th Overall)

- If the Flames pick in the Top 10, and the Panthers pick outside the Top 10, the Habs will receive the Panthers 2025 pick (highest potential pick: 11th Overall)

- If the Panthers have a Top 10 pick, and the Flames pick is not 1st Overall, the Panthers keep their pick and Habs will receive the Flames 2025 pick, the Flames will then receive the Panthers 2026 pick (highest potential pick, 2nd Overall)

- If the Panthers have a Top 10 pick and the Flames pick is 1st Overall, the Panthers keep their 2025 pick and the Habs will receive the higher of the Flames and Panthers 2026 picks (highest potential pick: 1st Overall)

Basically we want the Panthers to avoid a bad Cup hangover and finish in the Top 21.

There is also potential for the Flames to have no 1st Round Picks next year (Panthers and Devils pick in the top 10 and both their picks get pushed to 2026 while the Flames give up theirs, but would then have four in 2026).
