So correct Without Markstrom this year no Flame fan would be advocating for an equal 16 team lottery representation.

Trade Andersson + Markstrom + Canuck's 1st for OTT's 7th overall and Joshua Norris to make the $ work

Surprised they didn't place Utah 1st OA

AHH never saw the 2026 good catch. Against my better judgement I will cheer for the VGK's tonight as ONLY to better upgrade the Flames picks.

So are we hoping for VGK's to win tonight so the 2024 3rd round pick transfers to a 2025 2nd or a Dallas win so they go the the SC and we receive their 2024 3rd rounder?

I hope (expect) Conroy weaponizes our cap space starting this draft. EVERY top team has major players to sign this off season with limited cap space. We could have potentially loaded drafts the next 2 years.

Saros made some crazy good saves. Zadorov was such a good move for them, he has fit in nicely. Lindholm has solidified their PK (possibly neutralize the Oil PP) but has done little else. Could see Van not extending Lindholm. I see Edm dominating this series but really could go either way.

As an old fart I understood this. Thanks man LOL and agree

Not sure what you're trying to convey here or which direction you are heading as I don't have any teenage daughters and don't speak the post millennial dialect.

Love this write up, https://www.lines.com/nhl/drafts/player/petr-sikora-40927

As far as trading Kuzmenko! If through circumstances we draft one of Demidov, Silayev, or Artamonov ; Kuzmenko could be crucial to their immergence and success to NA and the Flames organization.

To trade a player for a draft pick that "Might" turn into a player you just traded is poor asset management.

Great write up and read

And just like that Winnipeg falls apart

Winnipeg is taking it to them now WOW

TBL in 6 TML in 6 NYR in 5 CAR in 7

VGK in 6 Avs in 7 Van in 7 Edm in 6

Well Done rocketdoctor nice win on your 1st season. I guess I'll continue to be the bridesmaid.

Years ago I presented a lottery system that withdrew 10 or 20 % of the lottery percentages given to the non playoff teams. At the end of the season the total number of wins by the 16 non playoff teams after game 41 were counted and divided by that 10 or 20 %. Each win after game 41 would increase your lottery %. Realistically under this system teams could only tank from games 1 to 41.

Your drop of Cozens !!! Ouch

The movie is being scripted by the day. My prediction as the 2024 feel good story line. The Flames will have Jerome select TJ.

I am really not sure about Celebrini as I think he tops out as a Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. I would have no problem trading down to get a couple top D. ie. 1st OA to Mon for their 7th 25th and our own 2025 1sr

How do you say a loss tonight against ARI tonight would be great !! without saying a loss tonight would be great?

Looks like we will be in the Yakemchuk or TJ range just like I was hoping a month ago.

Instead of trading decent players to get picks I would be more inclined to trade the Van 1st for a decent player. No coin flip on the pick, you get what you pay for. ARI is desperate for 1st round picks and I would be inquiring on how many of their 2nd rounders (they have 10 in the next 3 years) they would be willing to trade for the Van 1st. We could then trade the acquired 2nd rounders and cap space for positional needs in our organization. On a limited view I trust Conroy more on trades than draft choices.
