After the Dallas Stars were eliminated in the Western Conference Finals, their trade for Chris Tanev officially put the Calgary Flames on the losing end.
The Calgary Flames were hopeful when trading away 34-year-old defenseman Chris Tanev. After his four-year stint with the team, he was part of trade deal with the Dallas Stars and New Jersey Devils that would provide the Flames with a conditional third-round pick in the 2026 draft.
"WE'VE GOT A TRADE 🤩
Chris Tanev is headed to the @DallasStars as part of a three-way deal with the @NHLFlames and @NJDevils!"

However, the condition of the pick relied on Dallas making it past the Western Conference Finals. Provided the Stars' loss in game six against the Edmonton Oilers, the Calgary Flames will not receive their third-round pick in the aforementioned draft. This marks the third unsuccessful trade condition from last season, the others being Noah Hanifin with the Vegas Golden Knights, and Elias Lindholm with the Vancouver Canucks.
"With Dallas eliminated in the West Final, Calgary will not receive the bonus conditional 2026 third-round pick from the Chris Tanev trade.
#Flames end up 0/3 on trade conditions from last season. Vegas (Hanifin) and Vancouver (Lindholm) didn't meet conditional criteria, either."

Though Flames fans are not taking the news well, Edmonton Oilers fans are thrilled. The team ultimately took out two of these conditions in back-to-back rounds, making their victory in the Western Conference Finals even sweeter.
"So you're telling me Edmonton screwed them out of 2 conditional picks in back to back rounds, is playing in the Stanley Cup Finals, against the team that has Tkachuk and Bennett who were Flames top draft picks and basically demanded out? Ohhhahahahahahahaha that is peak comedy."
With another season of failed trade conditions, the Calgary Flames will have to return to the drawing board. Hopefully, they can avoid another season missing out on deals at the hands of Edmonton.
