Pettersson is probably a more tradeable asset than Huberdeau but it is playing in the margins. Doubt you get much of anything for either player.
Suspect Farabee is worth more than Boeser on the market, far better defensive player and outside of one season when Boeser scored at a rate that justifies his current salary he has been a 50 pint guy for 4 of the past 5 seasons. 7.25 million for a 50 point forward who does not play defence is a lot of money. Yegor and him will end up around the same for points again this year, Boeser has 142 points over the past 3 seasons and Yegor has 102 points. Boeser makes 1.5 million more a season to get an extra 10-15 points.
My point was more the Flames already have a better prospect base than the Canucks even after the Hughes trade. That gap will only grow once the Flames move some of their assets. But I personally would not trade Calgary’s top 10-12 assets under the age of 25 for the Canucks top 10-12 assets under the age of 25. I think Calgary has a clear lead in the quality of their prospect base for sure.

Weegar is about to turn 32 and Hronek just turned 28 nearly a 4 year age difference. I think both players stay with their team through their builds. Canucks guy is more age appropriate. As for Boeser/Sharangovich 40 more points in 2.3 seasons averages out to more than 10 points a year it is pacing to be closer to 20 points more. You bring up Farabee who could be compared to Debrusk.
We can nitpick about this stuff all day but the Canucks asset base today is comparable to Calgary’s. Calgary has the best pending UFA to move.
I think Calgary has the assets to absolutely blow past the Canucks but at the same time if only one team is picking top 4 and the other is picking in the back half of the top 10 that will swing things greatly in favor of the team picking the highest at least initially.
I just really hope Calgary moves all 3 assets (and are able to get their price) and secures one of McKenna, Lawrence, or Stenberg. If that happens I don’t care what the Canucks do I think the Flames will be in a better spot
