Would like this. Even if they couldn’t trade up by packaging the picks. Something like this maybe:
To Columbus:
Andersson (50% retained)
Poirier
2026 3rd round pick
To Calgary:
2025 1st round pick (14th overall)
Sillinger
2nd round pick
Not sure who would need to add in that trade or if Columbus would even consider trading Sillinger.
Would really like to pick before Vancouver and Montreal. I have a feeling they will both target a high ceiling centre with their picks at 15th and 16th overall - leaving Calgary to pick what’s left for centres at 18. Could just see McQueen and/or Rechny being there at the 15th pick and both being gone by the time the flames pick at 18th overall.
In this trade scenario, I wonder what packaging 14th overall + 18th overall + 22nd overall gets the flames in terms of a higher pick in the draft? For it to be at all worth it, I would think it has to get a pick in the 7th overall range.
