I think the Rucks will be targets for Vancouver, even if we disregard their history with twins. They also have the picks to do it. They have the Wild's 1st round pick, and they have 2 second round picks that they can use to move up for a late 1st.
Calgary is better positioned as right now the Vegas pick is better than the Wild's, but we will have to see how the playoffs go. Flames now have 4 seconds, so they have more ammo to move up and draft the Rucks.
Everything I see has the Rucks moving up the ladder into the 1st round. Will be interesting to see what team(s) grab them, where they get drafted, and if a team makes a move to grab both or not. What is also interesting is that they are twins, but they have different handedness. I wouldn't mind if the Flames walked out of the draft on day 1 with both of them (plus of course whomever they draft early with their own pick), and still having 2 second round picks to use for the next day.
