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.

That’s false and more complicated than that. Check my last post.

Too many conditions making it a far greater pick?
To clear it up, the whole condition tree is because Florida's pick lottery protected so as we all know this likely ain't happening cause they're good. Now removing this "If Calgary doesn't receive Florida's pick" shenaneegans, the pick we receive is confirmed in 2025 and it'll be Florida's pick except if Calgary's pick isn't top 10, then it's the better of the two. (That's how I see it)
I wouldn't trade what's likely going to be a pick between 11-20 (Calgary's likely a bubble team next year) for a 28-32 pick and the 41th selection, not enough value there. I'd need their 1st this year and Florida's 1st next year.

Wouldn’t remove it too quickly. FLA will have a tough offseason with all their UFA’s. Everybody tought that FLA 1st pick in 2023 would be low when Kent made the Chariot trade. At the end of last year season, everybody was closely watching if FLA would miss the playoffs. Next year is a new season and a lot of things can happen.

Fair but the condition is that Florida wins the lottery, we're talking about a small percentage of a small percentage.

The pick is lottery protected. This generally means that if the pick is top 16, the pick is protected. Basically, if the panthers miss the playoffs they’ll transfer their 2026 pick. They don’t have to win the lottery, just participate in the lottery.
