The Flames also have a ton of lottery tickets, in the way of depth picks. Anyways, I just don't see the entire top 6 being new guys and the bottom six being vets. They'll likely shuflle the team to have a balane of both.

Huberdeau and Kadri will be gone when this team is on the rise. Kadri is tradeable right now, he should be in a year as well if they choose not to move him now hoping for a good return.
Huberdeau will have a season with the young kids at some point that he will be moved. Might take an asset to get rid of him but there is always a short-term bad contract around the league that can be taken back. If the Flames continue to add pick after pick, they will eventually be able to afford to use 1 to get rid of him. Just might take a few years to play out.
