Personally, I would not do this trade and keep the picks as they are.
Having 2 x 1st round picks in 2024 AND 2025, is great leverage.

it's top 10 protected up to 2026. So If you want to wait for 2026 sure. And even then - A LOT can happen between now and then.

That’s not a good idea imo
CGY’s pick is getting more and more valuable.

This pick depends a lot on both Panthers and Calgary next year. Panthers will be in a tough situation this offseason with all their UFAs.

Panthers : Playoffs // Flames : Not Top 10 pick -> Better pick between FLA and CGY (>= 1st VAN 2024)

Panthers: Playoffs // Flames: Top 10 pick -> FLA pick (= 1st VAN 2024)

Panthers: No playoffs // Flames: Not top 10 pick -> 1st CGY + mid round pick (>= 1st VAN 2024)

Panthers: No playoffs // Flames: 2-10 overall -> 1st CGY (>>> 1st VAN 2024)

Panthers: No playoffs // Flames: 1st overall -> 1st CGY 2026 UNPROTECTED + mid round pick ( >> 1st VAN)

Considering that 2025 seems to be a better draft and considering that there is potentially a top 10 pick behind the conditions, I would keep this pick till next TDL.
