Speculation: Armchair GM 2024-25 Season, Craig Conroy's Can Do Calgary Flames

I don't even know why y'all are debating. If Buffalo trades their 2025 first, it will 100% have protections.

AFAIK in the NHL you can't protect a pick for multiple years but maybe I'm wrong. Where Buffalo stands right now they would want their 2026 first protected too and if they trade their 2025 1st with protection there is a very high chance that protection will kick in and push it to 2026 unprotected. That is my point.

I wonder what, if anything, it would take for Conny to pry 24 year old, 6’5”, 210 lb second-year LHD and pending RFA Mason Lohrei (4 goals and 28 points in 57 games) out of Boston? For all the Bruins players that are apparently available, he’s the only one their entire roster I’d have any interest in the Flames acquiring.

Highly unlikely. They are quite high on him
