Honestly you need to look pretty hard not to like any of these deals. All of them added good young depth to the Flames for a bare minimum of cost. All of them were good deals value wise. All of them fill roles that need filling.

When you get a player like Colborne for almost nothing and you have the C depth in Calgary like we do than you are happy about the move. People need to stop trying so hard to hate everything.
Don't forget about Russell for a 5th too
