## Resource

The Calgary Flames, with two first-round picks in the upcoming draft, have a vested interest in the Vegas Golden Knights playoff run. The exact position of their acquired pick, from the Hanifin trade, depends on Vegas postseason performance. If Vegas loses in the Western Conference Final, the Flames secure the 28th pick. If they reach the Stanley Cup Final but lose, the pick moves to the 30th spot. However, if Vegas wins the championship, the pick becomes the 31st overall selection, potentially upgrading a future second-round pick to a first-round pick. The Flames future roster hinges on these playoff games. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
