The further the Flames advance in the NHL playoffs, the further away the team's first round pick, now owned by the Montreal Canadiens, will be.
The Calgary Flames' first-round pick has been acquired by the Habs, along with fifth-round pick Tyler Pitlick and prospect Emil Heineman. In return, the Alberta team received the services of Tyler Toffoli.
The former CH player scored a goal yesterday, his first of the playoffs.
It will be quite a showdown in the second round, as the Flames will face the Edmonton Oilers in the Battle of Alberta.
