HF Habs: Flames or Panthers 1st Round Pick 2025

[Colezuki]

If Calgary's 2025 pick is top 10, we don't get their 2025 pick.

If I remember correctly, we have to hope both Calgary and Florida are really bad in 2025 and 2026 for us to get a top 10 pick in 2026.

They both need to be top 10 to get one of them essentially, which may not be as crazy as it sounds. Especially if Calgary loses lindholm

If Florida picks top 10 in either 2024 or 2025 Calgary gets their 2026 pick (in part due to another Florida trade with Philadelphia). If that were to happen, and the Habs don’t get Calgary’s 2024 pick, they will get Calgary’s pick in 2025 with the only condition being it’s 1st overall protected.

Defer to 2025.

 

[Riggins]

As @CHfan1 said, best result for us is Florida finishes bottom 10 this year and keeps their pick (so Philly gets their 2025 1st and Calgary gets their 2026 1st). We would then have Calgary's 2025 1st with the only protection being 1st overall. That's all highly improbable unless Florida gets even more crippled.

Most realistic is we're cheering for Calgary to just miss the playoffs in 2024-25 and get an extra top 16 pick next year in the #11-16 range.

I'm here for Slafy ignoring the 48hrs clause even after they use it to pick the wrong guy in 2024. f*** your context, f*** your facts.

If they're both top 10 in 2025, it goes to 2026.

Somebody did it a while back

 

[Frank Drebin]

Thanks @c3z4r . I think what happened is I lost interest because so much can change depending what happens this year . We likely won't have any kind of idea till spring 2025 what the pick is going to look like, assuming Calgary finishes out of the top 12 this year

 

[rahad]

let's say Kiviharju or Hutson is available at #20 ??
i would totally take that pick
Smaller D can droped

Don't we have enough D prospect with the Habs? We need more help with skilled forward.

Sean Monahan is probably one of Kent best trade. Getting a first round pick to take him is a huge win!

So I think I get it. We will likely get Calgarys 2025 pick and it will look like a top 10 pick all year long.... then they will squeek into the playoffs and make the cup finals!

Sounds about right.

Oh, come on. That could never happen!

 

[HuGort]

If we pass on the Calgary pick this year I hope we acquire another first. Some interesting prospects starting to emerge. Lindgren, Iginla, Howe,

There are interesting prospects emerging every year.

Cgy pick is top 19 protected.

We absolutely pass on it.

They are a degrading team.

Might end up a nice pick in 2025.

Florida's pick is part of the equation, too. It's not just Calgary.

 

[McGees]

looking forward to this 2028 pick so we can see him crack the roster in 2033









...could become a core piece for our 2039 contending team.

It's so complicated that both the Flames and Habs had to change the conditions making it more complicated. Trade was delayed because the NHL didn't like the conditions at first.

Back pocket 1st rounder. Let it play out before we consider trading it. Flames have a old core that will age more.

Yup! Most of us see it this way

When is the last time this happened?

You know what makes it hurt more , the bloody team that made it happen by beating the pens , ends up winning the lottery and getting Bedard . Go figure

I think it's possible we get their 2025 pick even if top 10. If Flames don't receive Florida's pick in 2025 we don't get Calgary's pick only if it's first overall. So if Calgary don't get Florida's pick in 2025 and they draft 2nd we get their 2nd overall pick i think. But i think the only way they wont get the Florida's pick is if Florida's win the lottery in 2025 which wont happen.

Crosby must hate the CH. Lose against us in the play-in tournament. Then lose against Chicago.

May they both be crap for the next 50 years.
