2024 1st round pick (WPG)

Additional Details:

I wonder about a trade like this for CGY, who might hope to be back in the playoffs next season if they play their cards right in a weak western conference. This trade will happen if they can swap Markstrom and the WPG pick for the Devils' 10OA pick (and probably a 2nd), which means that they essentially swapped Markstrom for Matheson and dropping one spot in the draft + receiving a pick in the late 40s/early 50s

Calgary should keep the pick. They don't need to rush this Rebuild retool, whatever it is. They need #1 guys in multiple positions, none available where Winnipeg's pick is going to be IMO

And with NJD suggestion, I suggested Markstrom and Vancouver's pick(which probably isn't going to be to much later) for NJD 1st. Don't see it happening eithet

The fly in this ointment is thinking that the Devils are going to give up the tenth overall pick in this year's draft (never mind plus a second that they don't even own right now) for Markstrom and a pick in the mid-twenties. And the Calgary pick could be eighth overall, depending upon what happens tonight.

Nine of the top 14 teams in the League are from the "weak Western Conference," and two more (plus potentially Seattle) finished ahead of the Flames this season.

Matheson doesn't even come close to getting you from pick ~#25 to pick #9.

Brutal offer

Also weak western conference? The West has won the last 2 cups and all the teams at the top look like Juggernauts. Right now the West is way stronger than the East
