Friends, the Calgary Flames have made two big trades this off-season with conditional draft selections included. The long and the short of it is that the Flames gained a first-round selection in either 2025 or 2026 in the Matthew Tkachuk trade, and they sent one out the door – in 2024, 2025 or 2026 – in the Sean Monahan trade.
Let’s untangle the hows, whens and whys of the conditional picks, which themselves are tied to the on-ice performances of Florida in 2023-24 and 2024-25, and Calgary in 2024-25.
Let’s begin!
