The worst case scenario for the #Flames conditions comes to be
The worst overall pick possible in 2026 (30th overall) without the conditions of the Rasmus Andersson going through and giving the Flames another 1st rounder.
Still, getting a 2027 1st, 2028 2nd, Zach Whitecloud, and Abram Wiebe for Andersson looks really good. Weβll see if Andersson re-signs with Vegas or not.

Canadaβs March to the Match continues to work its way through the Toronto streets toward the stadiums.
Beautiful scenes as fans chant and cheer and high five fans who are lining the streets.
Itβs going to be electric inside the stadium today.
Sources: The Edmtn Oilers are consulting with the NHLPA to see if there are objections that must be resolved before potentially hiring Mike Babcock. Amid allegations of invading players privacy, Babcock resigned in CBJ as Head Coach in 2023. Further investigation may be required.

Season in review, I take the Flames trading Andersson, Weegar, and Kadri for futures and picking 6th overall over culture and buzzwords and another 16th overall finish anyday.
All in all, the 6th overall pick isnβt a bad landing spot in this draft.
Iβd rather save the lottery win for the centre heavy draft next year anyways
