<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoxNix</b></div><div>Trades have to work for both teams not just yours. Calgary wants 1st round picks and good roster players or A prospects who can fill needs soon, not just w/e you want to get rid of. If Lindholm is traded then the two biggest needs will be:

1. a 1st line center or someone with good potential to eventually become at least a decent 2nd line center.
2. Right shot forwards with the potential to become good top 6 players.

IOW, the ideal return would include a 2024 1st and a pretty good right shot center or center prospect. Plus more how much more depending on just how high the pick is and how good the player/prospect is.

1st round picks (the earlier the better and the Rangers is going to be a late one) allow the Flames to pick players they think could fill those spots in a few years.

If Lindholm extends to remain in Calgary then the single biggest need will be a top 6 goal scoring forward preferably another right shot. Ideally a true sniper capable of being a gamebreaker even if he isn't one yet.</div></div>

You aren’t going to get a prospect of that caliber AND a 1st round pick for a pending UFA.
Teams with high first rounders are not going to spend them on a pending UFA.
CGY would be over the moon to get this type of package offered. Miller alone is worth more than pending UFA Hanifin.
Gilbert isn’t anything special and could probably be had for a mid round pick at best (3rd or 4th).
Pending UFA lindholm isn’t worth kakko, jones plus a 1st.
