@RyanNPike Acquire an extra pick in the 7-10 range and an extra one in the 20-25 range so the flames leave with one of Carels/Verhoeff, Bjorck, and both ruck twins. Use any 2nds we still have on boom/bust players like roobroeck
@deenzgreenbeanz@AnotherTKOLoss@jp_gambatese I hope that the wings are able to maximize their return for Larkin. This is more just about me wanting the flames to trade for another top 10 pick. What would you add to the trade to make it realistic and beneficial for all 3 teams?
@Magarner9@jp_gambatese The flames could add more quantity or quality, I was just spitballing since all 3 teams could benefit from this move. The wings need either young players with potential or assets they can use to trade for players, CGY need quality when they have quantity, and FLA needs to win now

@David954FLA To Calgary: Florida’s 9th overall + CGY 2026 7th (from DET)
To Florida: Dylan Larkin
To Detroit (via CGY): VGK 2027 and COL 2028 1st, COL 2027 2nd, Connor Zary
@gandrew999@NHLRumourReport I’m a flames fan… 7th overall is a very valuable pick. They have a lot of good prospects already. I’d for sure trade 4 picks in the 25th-55th range for #7, and Zary needs a fresh start
To Calgary: Seattle’s 7th overall pick
To Seattle: Robert Thomas
To St Louis (via CGY): VGK 2026 and 2027 1st, UTA 2026 2nd, COL 2027 2nd, Connor Zary
STL gets 2 1st’s plus regains 2nds in next 2 drafts (they have none now), plus take a flyer on a former 1st rounder in Zary.
The thought of if the #Flames can leave this draft with Carson Carels and Viggo Bjorck keeps me up at night…

We need to put together a package and make this work. Let’s swing.
@davedubbin85@a_darkcorner Trading for 4th overall without including 6th overall likely takes 3 first round picks (VGK ‘26, VGK ‘27, COL ‘28), plus one of the high 2nds this year (35 or 36th OA), plus a guy like Zary and a guy like whitecloud. It would still be worth it in my opinion, but pretty expensive
@frank_seravalli Rielly and 1st overall to the flames for Olli maata (could retain too, leafs get 4-6 mil in cap relief), 6th overall, ‘27 VGK 1st, ‘26 NYR 2nd (35th OA), ‘26 UTA 2nd (~51st OA). Leafs gain an extra first, 2 extra seconds, replace rielly for 4-5 mil less, & only move down 5 spots.
@FlamesNation Turn quantity into quality. Need to move up in the draft, or really just make any move where we move more things than we get back, assuming what we get back is worth more
@crozier97@NHL_Muse If the flames were capped out I’d agree, but they have so much space it doesn’t really matter. I could still see him bouncing back to be a 65ish point player, but even if he doesn’t, this trade wont look too bad if one of those prospects turns out to be something
