Description

Habs trade back the CAL flame pick - letting the flames begin the tear down in time to draft Misa and McKinna.

Habs draft Iginla at 5OVR, then with the Flame's pick, they pick up BPA - could be Eiserman, Yaremchuck - or anyone that slips down...

Send down Anderson to Laval and hopes he reacts like Armia.

Calgary isn't the team to target to move up. I'd look at Pittsburgh or Detroit who are likely wanting to be better immediately and not wait a couple years for prospects.

I think the logic is sound for Calgary to want to regain control of their first round pick ahead of their rebuild.

Calgary isn't doing that. Pretty good chance Florida is a playoff team next year and they send that pick if their pick is top 10.

Detroit wouldn't be interested in that. They aren't looking to "get better now" at the cost of the future.

That's illogical, you're basically saying they should give up a top 10 pick now in a strong draft so that they might be able to save a top 10 pick later?
