I do agree the Boston deal with a conditional 1st is awful and likely then on par with the Pittsburgh deal.

It's actually a guaranteed 1st, and 2 prospects that have a good chance of slipping into Calgary's top 10 prospect pool. The Flames scouting staff has done a lot of scouting in the NCAA recently. Because we haven't heard of these guys, does not make them worth nothing. Much better options than a non-superstar Russian and a potentially bottom pairing d-man.
The first is likely to produce the best asset in either the Pitts deal or the rumoured Boston deal. That automatically makes the Pitts deal better.
