1) Flames win the cup

, send 32nd pick in 2025 to Montreal
2) Florida bombs out to a lottery pick, sends unprotected 2026 first to Calgary
3) NJ bombs out, sends unprotected 2026 first to Calgary
4) Ditto Vegas
5) Calgary gets 3-4 McKenna tickets in 2026, and all the aforementioned teams suck hard in 2026
Not a particularly likely outcome but one could argue it’s the best possible scenario
