I like the trade condition quirk that gives the Flames have two chances of getting an unprotected 2029 1st instead of just one.

If the Avs fall off in 2026-27 or 2027-28 into a top 10 pick, the Flames will get their 2029 first unprotected.

It’s incredibly unlikely that they’ll be out of the playoffs for any of these years, but you never know. I didn’t have Florida missing the playoffs this year. The Avs are the third oldest team in the NHL now. I can’t imagine they have a deep prospect system.

I like Kadri, but I’m cheering against the Avs after this season is done.
