A little worried about Florida. Barkov had a bad crash into the boards and needed help off the ice. If they lose him for a long period of time and if they have any kind of a Stanley cup hangover, the pick the flames have to give the Habs could be higher in the draft than we like. I’m pulling for Florida to go deep into the playoffs so that pick is late… assuming the flames pick will be in the top 10. I guess if the flames end up finishing outside the bottom 10 in the league, we might want Florida to do poorly - but not so poorly that the Florida pick is in the top 10 - because then it means the flames don’t get a 1st round pick in the 2025 draft at all I think.
I hate that trade so much.
