Draft Floor Madness

Created by: MoxNix
Team: 2023-24 Calgary Flames
Initial Creation Date: Apr. 11, 2024
Published: Apr. 11, 2024
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Calgary acquires another top 10 pick from Ottawa to select both Tij Iginla and Carter Yakemchuk or if Cayden Lindstrom is still around him and Iginla or Yakemchuk.

The NJ trade only happens if one of Yakemchuk or Catton is still available when NJ's pick is up. Iginla will almost certainly be gone by then (hopefully taken by Calgary).

Calgary has plenty of cap space to make big splashes in either or both the free agent and trade markets too.

We can get more than a 1st without sending away the 2nd. Maybe not from the sens, but we can get more

Sens pick is likely to be 5th/6th OA.

5th-7th OA has value, Ottawa paid around 12th-13th + for Chychrun last year so it's probably not that far off. I don't see Ottawa doing it as Andersson doesn't fit their needs outside of the way he holds his stick.

If we were to do it though I would take Catton if he's still available. Regardless of what OP thinks of him, he is easily one of the most skilled players in the draft

If we get another top 10 pick, what would you think of Catton AND Iginla?

I'd pass on Catton and go for Iginla + Yakemchuk. Unless Lindstrom is still available but that's very unlikely. We need a few good young players size, grit and physicality a lot more than yet another little guy. If you want to be like Buffalo then keep drafting soft and/or little players based mostly on how many points they got in their draft year and wondering why you either can't make the playoffs or get physically dominated pushed around and eliminated in the 1st round all the time.
