Good value for a player that had stalled in development, was buried on the depth chart and was about to become waiver eligible. I wish it wasn't the canucks, and it better be a 2015 pick, but I can see why BT did this. I have to assume their were no other suitors otherwise I'm sure he wouldn't have been dealt to a rival. Most GMs probably feel the same way the flames obviously do, which is that Sven is unlikely to even be a 2nd line player. BT is being both pragmatic and proactive with this move.
