First of all, I would like to welcome these young men to the Calgary Flames and hope they do really well with the Calgary Flames.

Secondly, the reported deal out of Boston was Koko+Bartkowski+Conditional 1st

In my opinion:
The permanent first > Conditional first
Agostino = Khokhlachev
Hankowski = Bartkowski

I am actually excited for Agostino as he has been doing very well in college and I think he can actually become a top 6 player.

At the end of it all, we got all that for a rental during a SHORT season when the cap is going to go down as well who we can potentially re-sign in 3 months.

This wasn't an easy trade to make and as many have said, Iggy might have chosen the deal to take. Therefore, let's not get overly crazy as all of a sudden we now have 2 FIRST round picks in a deep draft.

Next up is to trade the rest of this junk and start fresh. I wonder if Baertschi will be called up again soon.

Oh and last thing, keep your expectations realistic with these guys. They aren't coming in to replace Iginla. I already feel bad for them as their every move is going to be looked at with a microscope.
