Perhaps 2026 1st, 2025 2nd from St. Louis, Savoie/Akey, Pickard???? Not sure that even is enough for Anaheim.

How do we know what Anaheim wants? We don’t.
How much do they want to move Gibson?
I think it’s well acknowledged that the Flames could have held on to Zadorov and got more for him closer to the deadline but they decided to expedite the trade and did so.
Maybe a first is enough. I don’t think any of us are in position to say what some other team will or won’t do.
