Untangling the Calgary Flames’ 2025 NHL Draft first round pick conditions



Alternate title: Why did you have to make it so complicated, Brad?

The Calgary Flames will have two first round picks in the 2025 NHL Draft. Well, probably. And figuring out which picks they’ll have, and where those picks fall, is a bit of a mess. Ryan breaks down the *five* different trades that impact the 2025 first-rounders and tries to simplify the scenarios impacting the picks the Flames will be able to use in June.

Thanks to PuckPedia and the Pro Sports Transactions archive for their assistance in untangling this gigantic mess.

    I find it hard to believe that Conroy will let us lose a #11-#16 pick to Montreal for a small chance to make the playoffs to just be bounced in the first round by the Jets wagon or the Edmonton McDavids. He is definitely going to purposely knee cap the team by trading some key players for picks and to tank. If not then I have no hope for this team because the first straw was not to tank for Bedard when we lost Tkachuk and Gaudreau(RIP) in the same summer. This is a clear layup so we can start building a wagon when the new rink opens up with hopefully one or both of Mckenna and Dupont leading the way into the 2030s 🔥.

    I love you pike but this is the most painful video I've ever seen. FUCK YOU BRAD YOU'RE LITERALLY THE WORST GM IN THE LEAGUE – IN A LEAGUE WITH STAN BOWMAN! I can't believe the price you paid to make me watch Nazem fucking Kadri be the greediest player in the league. At least you're busy ruining the Leafs now. Who hires a person who ruins the present a furure of a franchise 5 seconds after they become available?
