HF Habs: Flames or Panthers 1st Round Pick 2025: Part II

[Bombshell11]

I know. A guy can hope. Having Calgary pick being 11th would be huge for us. If we can draft a guy like Sam Dickinson this year, our rebuild will be solid for the next 15 years.

What kind of name is this?

Those bottom teams will be selling hard. Flames can't do that.

OK but if the Flames lost every remaining game, they'd pick in the bottom 10, right? So by definition, you have to cheer for the Flames to win some of their games.

They just need to still be in contention by trade deadline.

After that, playing for .500 or slightly under should do it for a pick in the early 10's.

Yep, thats where I am.. put poster I was quoting was asking why we would be cheering for the occasional Flames win.

Dickinson Name Meaning: This is a patronymic name from the personal name 'Dickin','Son of Dickin'. Also a diminutive of 'Dick'. The name is of northern english origin. 'Dick' is a short form of Richard meaning 'brave power'

Yeah just seen that.

And for the record, I don't see them crumbling hard just because of Wolf. Unless he is getting injured.

The competition is strong this year. Team drafting curently 9th is the Pens and 10th Detroit. The longer Calgary stays afloat the better. It would require just a bad sequence in the last 10 games for them to drop a few ranks.

Calgary is probably somewhere between 11-16th. I see them getting bumped from playoffs but who knows.

Give the closeness of the East, we could realistically finish with the 7th overall pick in the draft or make the playoffs. Once that happens who the hell knows.

No matter what happens, I am making both picks available for a top 4 RD....or packaging them to move up and get the best prospect possible.

We do not need both 1sts this year with 7 picks in the next 3 rounds. Package everything and move up as much as possible. Or make a homerun trade that brings us a top piece in return to fully complete the rebuild.

We are on the cusp.

Absolutely agree. Moving up as much as we can should be a priority.
