-Don't be surprised if the Flames drop down in the draft, as there is a list players that they are interested in that may be available sub 6th pick.
-They have a list of coaches and it looks like they will be picking one after the draft.
-He has a number in his head for Sean and Johnny, which he feels is fair. If they take it they do, and if they don't they don't play.
Cripes Burke. I don't like the sounds of that comment on Johnny and Mony. It doesn't sound like a negotiation. Granted they're only restricted but that isn't the attitude to take with your 2 best players. The number will have to be seen as fair by all parties, not just you Burkie!

Monahan could get offer sheeted easily so not as simple as "they don't play" Johnny has little options

I really think a deal with the Habs works for both teams. The Habs get Brown, and with the Coyotes and Sabres likely to pick d-men, the Flames can still get their guy (probably Nylander) and pick up an early 2nd in the deal. That 2nd will be nice to restock the cupboards if the Flames need to use a 2nd to acquire a goalie.

I would also agree with that. That's just Burke for you, so take it with a grain of salt IMO.

Careful now. I got blasted for suggesting this a few days ago. Apparently we have too many 2nd rounders and shouldn't look at this option :/

Funny how there's all the talk of 3,4,5 being available and all the sudden we are willing to as well. Screams of attention seeking.

There's so much double speak from the Flames front office, you cannot take anything they put out there with any validity. Just Burke alone is playing the double back talk game so much I'd have a hard time believing him if he said his name was Brian Burke.

Thanks to all the CPers who have picked up FC's 2016 NHL Draft Guide. As always, your support is greatly appreciated. We're on target to have yet another best-selling season despite releasing late, and having the draft earlier this year. Can't do it without you guys here.

For those that want to pick up the guide (and take advantage of the CP discount) you can do so here: http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthread.php?t=154422

We do. Trading down for another 2nd makes no sense.

Unless their scouts tell them the BPA is available after they are scheduled to pick, and someone is willing to give up a pick in the range that player is available, and then some, to move up and take a player that team likes. There is no consensus board. The teams will have different lists and the Flames may believe, that after the top three, the next best player is one that may be available at 10-12. Take the asset, get your player, and then have another pick to take another player or asset in another deal.

Yeah, because once you have two 2nd rounders another one has no value. Can't do anything with it.

The phrase "may be available at 10-12" is the operative one. The player you hope MAY be available just might not. Why risk shooting yourself in the foot just to gain a 4th second round pick.

Before everyone gets all excited about the Flames moving down the actual GM calling the shots (Treliving) said last week he expects to pick at 6. Don't expect any trading down although I wouldn't be shocked if they were one of the two teams kicking tires on the Columbus pick.

honestly, if calgary can trade down and get one of Keller, Nylander or Jost at 9, i'd be thrilled... especially if we could then try making a deal to move up into the late second and pick up one of the other lower ranked big men.

Not my point. You are not getting the same caliber of player at 12 or 13 and with a weak draft after the 1st why would you do that? The Flames are not trading down just to grab another 2nd.

Could be Burke being Burke but I think the combine interviews and scouts getting together was in between? it's possible they have changed their thinking a bit.

You might. And who says you're dropping that far?

Say Brown, Nylander, Keller, and all the top defencemen are available at 6. Maybe you know your top pick out of those would last another 2-3 picks. Why WOULDN'T you trade down? It'd be insane not to.

After 5, the chances of you picking up a player that's the best at 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 is pretty close to equal. It's a tight group.

The scenario is trading down from 6 to 9 because Montreal is hot to trot for Brown. If the Flames have Nylander, Brown, and the two D grouped together as roughly equal, then they can make that deal and still get one of their guys. And considering the needs of Arizona and Buffalo, there's a very good chance the guy left at 9 is Nylander.
