seems like an overpay 9 and 26 would is equal to 5th overall per puckpedia and I'd much rather have Zary and a 2nd over 26th
It cost the Leafs the 7OA, the 37OA 68OA to move up to 5th in 2008
It would likely cost 9OA, Vancouver's 1st in 2024 and Calgary's 2nd 2025, to move into the 5th overall spot from the 9th.
The trade very likely won't happen.
(Pelletier is not worth the 26th overall, maybe a high/mid-second. Makes no sense for Calgary to trade Pelletier. I'd agree Zary is not worth giving up it either for the F lames, so don't see this trade happening. But GM's do crazy things on draft day.)
So if the Flames want to move up ... I don't see Kent Hughes accepting anything less than the package I proposed above
Or the 2024 9OA, Vancouver's 1st in 2024 and Jakob Pelletier. [For the 5th OA and Sean Farrell]
