Description

With the upcoming NHL draft, and the Flames in cap hell, time to trade away almost all of our 2024 pending UFAs (and Vladar) along with a bunch of picks to Chicago for Connor Bedard pick and roster fill-ins. Chicago can flip those players over to other teams for more picks, prospects, whatever they choose to do. This will most likely not happen, but I'm a hopeless Flames fan that likes to dabble in insanity/lunacy.

Forward lines:
1st: Huberdeau/Kadri/Bedard
2nd: Pelletier/O'Reilly (signed at 2023 offseason free-agency)/Coronato
3rd: Coleman/Dube/Mangiapane
4th: Ruzicka/Dickinson/Duehr
Defense pairs:
1st: Kylington/Andersson
2nd: Tinnordi/Weegar
3rd: Gilbert/Zaitsev
Scratches: Stone, Phillips, Rooney
Goalies: Markstrom/Wolf

Think there's like 3 teams in the league that can get Bedard without completely destroying their franchise for the near century (BUF/NJD/EDM). Of those, none of them would give up what Bedard is worth.

If the impossible happened and Chicago did elect to consider an offer for the #1 pick; Coronato, Wolf, Andersson, Lindholm & 23’ 1st all need to be involved and they probably still wouldn’t do it.

I live in CGY and so prefer CGY to CHI in a big way, but NO way this gets Bedard. Not even close.

I find the most ignorant thing about this 'fantasy' trade of pretending to trade away CGYs future to get Bedard, is that you didn't even include ONE of CGYs best 3 futures, in Coronato, Pelletier and Wolf.
Just ignorant man

We don't have the assets for it plain and simple. A dynasty is built by having concentrations of talent at any given roster spot. Chicago doesn't have much incentive to trade a franchise player of his calibre because they can draft and supplement around him within 3 years.
