Even if the idea to ship out Ryan made sense -- and I'll say that without another trade forthcoming, it doesn't -- it doesn't make sense for CGY to ship their 2021 3rd rounder in this deal. Keeping the 3rd rounder opens up the possibility to pursue a player via offer sheet. Yes, of course I am aware that offer sheets are rare. But in this case, the upside to CGY sliding up in round 3 via trade here doesn't make sense until during the 2021 draft (ie. trade up/down).
