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

[austin316]

San Jose, Chicago, Nashville, Buffalo, Montréal, Anaheim, Seattle will finish under the Flames. That is 7 teams. You can also think of Utah, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. They are far from being guaranteed of picking top 10. Actually we are having one of the best scenario possible.

Calgary is one of the worst teams in the league roster wise. Wolf has been carrying them all season long.

I hope I’m wrong and they can pile up some more points but I really believe they are going to drop rapidly affer the break.

You need to take that attitude somewhere else sir.

I have a hard time following you guys. The Flames have 60 points in 55 games, perfect scenario because we want them to finish at 0.500 (22 points in 27 games).

I don't want them at 65 points and be a buyer. I don't want them at 55 neither (teams 7-11 are at 55) and sell.

It is going to come down to how Utah, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia & St. Louis all perform post-break if they all suck along with Calgary then it doesn't matter.

It's possible all of CBJ, NYR, NYI and Boston pass Calgary leaving Calgary either 11th or 12th depending on Montreal's own pick situation.

Philadelphia looks to be selling, maybe (Laughton, Risto).

I don’t think Pens are going to do much of anything.

Blues have a much easier schedule than Calgary but also may sell.

Utah has talked about adding but who knows.

Just being realistic. I wouldn’t get too attached to a top 15 pick if I were you.

I guess so, but terms are nebulous to me, it doesnt say lottery protected

It's top 10 protected. If CGY win the lottery, the pick would become top 10 and trigger the clause

Ok I just read it again, I was stuck to the B.2 part, which will not be the case of course
if Panthers 2025 first does not transfer to Flames then (1) if Flames 2025 first is #1 overall then Canadiens receive Flames 2025 third and more favorable of Flames, Panthers 2026 firsts; or (2) if Flames 2025 first is #2-10 then Canadiens receive Flames 2025 first
