But really centers in that 18-23 age range have to be the focus for this organization in draft or trade. They have 5 1sts and 4 2nds over the next 3 years (plus assets from stuff like moving Kuzmenko, Mantha, etc) to solve this problem. But seeing if Zary and Pospisil can be NHL centers should be a priority for this organization at this point.

I really hope that Conroy aims for quality over quantity in this year's draft. I give him and the team top marks for how the last draft went but for this year I would really hope to see them make moves and consolidate assets to try and get 2 picks in the top 10-15.
If we could land McQueen and Misa / Desnoyers / OBrien / Moore then that would turn around the centre depth in a hurry. I think that would be more effective than trying to load up on another big haul of prospects.
How far up the draft would the Flames be able to move the NJ pick if we used one or both of our 2025 2nd rnd picks? I would also prioritize returns from Kuzmenko, Mantha, etc. to bring back more draft trade bait to help get us positioned for landing those high quality Cs.
