Seems like the Flames overpaid and would I would rather have Boyle @3M than either of these 2.

Raymond just seems to me to be a top 6 filler.... like Stempniak, and Dawes. No team can be successful with a ho-hum top 6 filler..
Dawes? Come on, man. That is a ridiculous comparison for Stempniak or Raymond. Also, Stempniak was a usefull player for the Flames and garnered a 3rd round draft pick at the deadline. How is that a bad move on a rebuilding team?
