## Resource

The Calgary Flames missed out on the top four in the 2026 NHL draft lottery, now at sixth overall. Theyre considering a trade up to secure a potential star player, but its challenging due to teams rarely giving up high picks. The Flames have eight picks in the first three rounds, which they could use to negotiate a deal. Moving up to fifth might cost a later second-round pick, while fourth could require an earlier second-rounder. Reaching third or second is even more expensive, and the first overall pick is likely out of reach. The Flames must decide if the cost of trading up is worth it, considering they can also find valuable players at sixth overall.
