No, not turn away. Certainly, having Rattie in the Flames organization would be good, just because he is another pretty solid NHL prospect. What I have a problem with is pursuing a player specifically with the intent of remanufacturing juniour chemistry with another player. I fear that if the Flames took the same approach as a number of posters seem to have in their desire to trade for Rattie, then they would end up substantially overpaying for the asset.
