Calgary has 6 first round picks over the next 3 years. They have a shit ton of picks in the first three rounds of the next three drafts. 15 to be exact. Compare that to the 2 first round picks and 6 picks in the first three rounds over the next three seasons for the Oilers.Yup. Johnny Walker left them high and dry, but Ratboy forced a trade and they got the poison pill return of Huberdeau and the subsequent contract (Weegar is fine but not enough). Then the exodus began, Lindholm, Hanafin, Zadorov, Tanev and Markstrom.
If they go full rebuild they'll trade Weegar and Anderson and get another 4 top picks and some more young assets. Or they might trade a few of those picks they already have and be competitive real fast with a retool.
They also have double the projected cap space while needing to acquire less players than the Oilers. The Flames are far from down and out.
If we buyout Campbell my guess is the Flames sign him on the cheap.
