If the flames can’t get the McKenna pick in 2026 (ideally via Vegas collapsing and winning the lottery), my next choice would be for New York to finish bottom 12 this year so the pick gets deferred to next year… and Pittsburgh ends up getting the first overall pick. Vancouver will have given McKenna away for a 3rd pairing defencman and a 3rd line winger.
Don’t care if Pittsburgh’s been spoiled with stars already… it would be hilarious for that to happen to the Canucks.
