It hurts now but could look fine in 4 years.

I have a feeling if Feaster would have accepted this last year he would have got torn apart by some for building a team of "smurfs" and not being able to get a 1st rounder.
I agree - that trade would not have come across as a home-run for the Flames, especially after the TSN panel (including McKenzie) stating that the return for Bouwmeester will be better.

I can see some of the comments now (and some might have been from myself!).

No first round pick!!
What is with Feaster's obsession with midgets!!
3 more controlled years, and they will walk away for nothing before the Flames can even compete!!

Hindsight is always 20/20. More time can make this trade a bit more even.
