Like the Sharks in the 2024 draft ir the Islanders in the 2025 draft, it can be a huge boost to a rebuild if you can get a pick in the top 5 and then another in 10-16 range in the same draft. You get a shot at a potential franchise player (Celebrini/Schaefer) and then can pick up a player that potentially drops out of the top 10 who has huge upside (Dickinson/Ecklund).
Not exactly in the flames control where their picks will land but it would be nice for the hockey gods to help the flames out for once with these kind of things. Vegas having a Nashville-level disappointing year would be incredible.
