It's not like the players at 6 are bad either. The Flames could get someone of a similar calibre as Bennett there.

You just have to listen to Big Tuna about god's grace to hockey (Nylander) and his brother is equally good and he's not even the best option at 6.

Sergachev and Chychrun would easily slot in as a top 4 D-man on the Flames, with 1st pairing upside upside.

Dubois/Tkachuk/Nylander/Jost/Keller are all dynamic offensive talents, each with their positives and negatives.

Goalies are easy to acquire under current conditions. Several teams have multiple good goalies and can only protect 1 next year. There are only 3-4 teams that need a starter, which is fewer than the amount with more than one. It all comes down to cost, and I'm sure that #35 and one of the Stars or Panthers picks would be enough to do it for any of the veteran options. Might need to chip a little something more for one of the younger prospects, but certainly not our 1st.
