Not a great return, but better than pinning your hopes on having a player sign a contract extension that they wouldn't sign prior to the deadline.

The Flames pick 5 times in the first 3 rounds in this years draft. You're telling me that's bad asset management? Obviously Burke was looking for a player that would help the team immediately. Just because he's Montreal's 2nd best prospect doesn't mean much. It just shows how bad the offers were for the best available players at the deadline.
