If you trade that pick, then VGS misses the playoffs, then win the lottery, it's a firable offense for all involved. I would much rather they remain patient.
Although I’m not certain about a Byram deal, I think it’s OK to move the Vegas pick. The “anything can happen” likely amounts to less than 1% chance that the Vegas pick turns into #1 overall. That risk can be weighed and considered by the Flames when moving the pick, but I’m not sure it’s wise to cling to an unprotected pick just because there is a minuscule chance of it becoming McKenna. On the other side of the risk is that the pick would has more value as a trade chip and bring back more assets 99% of the time.
