Wouldn't we rather keep our ticket in the McKenna sweepstakes?

Basically, with the way thinks have shook out this year, it's either we finish bottom 10 and MTL gets Florida's 1st this year, or we're not bottom 10 and they get the better pick between us and Florida (which will be ours).
The only scenario in which they would've gotten our 2026 pick would have been if we were drafting 1st overall this year AND Florida's 2025 pick didn't transfer to us (it's top-10 protected for 2025). Then Montreal would get whichever would be the better pick of ours or Florida's in 2026.
