I like it for the Habs. There are four forwards I'd be okay with at 5 once Celebrini, Demidov, and Lindstrom are gone, so trading down to 9 makes a lot of sense and a late 1st is decent compensation. I wonder how high they could get by packaging together the Winnipeg and Vancouver 1sts.
Buium is a good pick if that's who the Flames want. I'd be a little wary about star NCAA defencemen if I were them, and trading up to avoid Iginla is a bit odd in a way, but it could be a good call.
