Just looking at how it is going about a quarter way through and Boston possibly getting a top 10 pick it sure would have been amazing for the Flames to be in that spot.

It is kinda incredible to think of the team that Brad inherited 3 years ago and where he has brought the team.
Traded a 3rd and a 6th for Lybushkin
Traded a 3rd and a 5th for Edmundson
Traded a 6th for Cade Webber
Traded a 4th and a 21 yr old former 5th round pick for Connor Dewer
Traded a 7th round pick for the negotiating rights to Tanev
Traded a 1st and top prospect in their org for Laughton and a 4th and a 5th
Traded a 1st, a 4th and Minten (19 year old former 2nd rounder) for Carlo
Traded a 3rd for Maccelli
Traded a 4th for Dakota Joshua
In terms of acquiring picks he did the following
Pulled a classic Brad trading the 23rd overall pick in the 24 draft to drop to 32nd and pick up a 58th overall pick
Then moved the 58th overall pick to Florida for the 64th overall pick in 2025 and a 7th rounder
Traded Liljgren for a conditional 3rd and a 6th
Traded Conor Dewer and Timmins for a 5th (moved down one round and gave up a prospect in the overall Dewer transaction plus lost Timmins)
Just classic Wizardry there with the Leafs assets to get them to where they are today.
