Part of the Exceptional status is you have to play for the team who drafts you.

Exactly. Hitmen's pick.

Is he likely to get picked first overall, or is there a chance he falls to the Hitmen at 6th?

Exactly. No idea what buddy is talking about. If he isn’t first he told Everett to pound sand and is going to BCHL, which is hugely unlikely because they are parading him around today.

I think what he's saying is Dupont's camp should tell Everett, PA, Tri-city, Kelowna and Edmonton if they pick him he won't play for them and instead go play in a different league. Then they all pick someone else because that's better than wasting the pick on a player who won't report, and then he'll be available at 6th overall for the Hitmen.
Not sure why he would do that though, unless he wants to stay in Calgary I guess?
He kind of lucked out though if he likes winning, because Everett is a top 4 or 5 team in the league and they are consistently good year after year, so he won't have to endure being on a bottom feeder despite going 1st overall.

Exactly! I was just joking, to be honest. Obviously, it's not going to happen, but hey, a boy can dream!

Dupont entering NHL, Flames finally rebuilding, New arena is coming, Makar is becoming UFA.
Are the stars are lining up for us?

Ahhh. Didn’t know what you were talking about. Haha.
Probably don’t want Calgary anyway since they can’t seem to ever get their crap together. Micki stepped down as the edge coach so imagine he’ll be shuttling off as well.

Flames won’t get DuPont as they will have already won the lottery twice by then. Celebrini and McKenna.

Nice thought, but my future self just texted to tell me which lotteries the Flames are actually winning.
They'll get $5 from a scratch-and-win. I don't want to tell you what they win on the scratch-and-sniff.

DuPont should pull a Makar and go play for Brooks.

He should, but doubt they all be at a press conference today if everything wasn’t set in stone.

McKenna's year it will be Vegas winning the draft lottery, so it'll all come together nicely.

The Flames being a bottom feeder for three years would be hard to watch ( but probably likely).

It doesn't have to be that way. Flames trade someone in 24-25 (say, Markstrom) for a 2026 1st that's top ten protected. The other team finishes top 10 or something in 25-26 (but Flames are suddenly good because they won 2024 lottery and already in POs) and uses its protection. Same team finishes poorly again and wins lottery in 27 but that pick belongs to the Flames.
