Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

And now we know why they made the condition so weird. They knew they'd have to tear it down.
 
doesnt that transfer over to Florida`s pick ?
It confuses me but I think it is this now...

There are two separate scenarios: if Calgary’s pick is top 10 in 2025 or if it is not top 10 in 2025.

If the pick is not in the top 10, then Calgary would send its 2025 pick to Montreal (in addition to a wildly specific condition around a fourth-round pick also sent in the Tkachuk trade).

If the pick is in the top 10, then the Flames would be in trouble. If the pick is first overall, then Montreal would get a 2025 third-rounder and the better of Calgary and Florida’s 2026 first-rounder. If the pick is second to tenth, then Montreal would get Calgary’s 2025 first-round pick.

So there is a world in which the Flames draft second overall in 2025 and have to give up that pick to Montreal. A lot would have to happen to get to that point, but it’s not impossible.

By a lot, you mean Calgary falls to the bottom of the standings and the lotto balls move them to #2?
