Lindstrom and Catton aren't NHL ready.

Maybe add a 3rd round pick in the CGY trade.

The Kakko trade looks fair, but I don't see NYR doing that.

I can't imagine Calgary exchanging the ninth overall pick in this year's draft for the heavily conditioned pick in the 2025 draft just to get Justin Barron. I think that the Flames would just take Berkly Catton themselves.

To put it another way, that trade would be a big bet by the Calgary GM that the Flames would do even worse next season than they did this year.

A bird in the hand is worth more than a bird in the bush.

That Calgary trade isn't even slightly realistic, maybe vancouvers first this year.

Doubt we see a MTL NYR trade until Gorton and/or Drury are no longer running their respective teams

Calgary won't be trading this year's pick unless it's to move up at the draft or to acquire a very good young player.
