I get not wanting to trade 6th overall for a goalie. It's not sexy, especially around draft time. How about if BT could swing a "trade down" type scenario though?
For example, 6th overall to Tampa for Vasilevskiy and 27th overall (playoff pending)? Or 6th overall to Anaheim for Gibson and 24th overall?
Flames get a really good young goalie with a ton of upside, and still have a chance to nab a solid player like Rubtsov or Gauthier if they drop a bit. Or package 35th overall with the 20-something pick to move up into the teens and snag a decent player?
