4th overall picks:
W. Smith
S. Wright
L. Hughes

L. Raymond (#1LW/RW)
B. Byram ( #2D)
B. Tkachuk (#1LW)
C. Makar ( Franchise D )
J. Puljujarvi ( Bust )
M. Marner (#1RW)
S. Bennett (#2C)
S. Jones (#2/3D)
G. Reinhart ( Bust )
A. Larsson (#4D)
R. Johansen (#1b/2C)
E. Kane (#2LW)
A. Pietrangelo (#1D)
T. Hickey ( Bust )
N. Backstrom (#1C)
B. Pouliot (#3LW)
A. Ladd (#2LW)

Based on those player it would be a huge Flames win with 7/17 picks, even trade with 5/17, and a big Flames loss with 5/17.
This doesn’t factor in that most teams can add Zary or Rasmus through their farm system if they draft well. Or similar players via trade or free agency

Most farm systems or prospect pools don’t have the elite guys like Makar in their system. So no, we aren’t getting 4th pick for those 2
