In the last few years here are the trades for a winger that included a 1st

That is the list.
If you want to go back further 24 year old DeBrincat got a 1st as part of the return in July of 2023.

Next one? March 2 2023! 28 year old Tyler Bertuzzi got a 1st and a 4th

I don't think a 2nd and a 3rd is the "Fire Sale" you think it is for a winger. Teams just dont value them to the same extent as D and C's.
I suspect you are correct the Flames are holding out for a 1st and 2nd - And I highly doubt that price is ever met, they hold Coleman until next year and then either resign or trade at the deadline for a 2nd + 2nd/3rd or B spect. |
Wingers as good as Blake Coleman also never get traded with term attached. When they do get traded they get traded for 1st round picks. Probably is an argument to trade him this year if there is a package that includes a first, which I suspect is Conroy’s asking price.
