That’s at least a couple years early. The guys we get in the next two drafts might not even be playing in the NHL in the 2027/28 season.
The Ducks are just starting to climb out of the basement, and that’s with:
#3 OA McTavish at D+4
#5 OA Gauthier at D+3
#10 OA Mintyukov at D+3
#2 OA Carlsson at D+2
#3 OA Sennecke at D+1
If the Flames land top-five picks in each of the next two drafts, in 27/28 one will be D+1 and the other will be D+0.
