There's also this scenario:
Vegas wins the Cup this year, turning the 2028 2nd Round Pick into a 1st Round Pick. Vegas crashes out and their 2027 1st Round Pick then shifts to 2029.
Colorado also crashes out, picking top 10 in 2027 pushing their 2028 1st Rounder to Toronto, giving the Flames their 2029 1st Round Pick.
Calgary wins the draft lottery, picking 1st Overall in 2027
Calgary finishes last, but Vegas wins the draft lottery. Calgary picks 1st and 2nd Overall in 2028
Vegas finishes last and Calgary finishes 2nd last and Colorado wins the draft lottery; Calgary picks 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Overall in 2029
Is this likely? Who's to say.
