Happy with the trade. Didn't believe they would get a 1st round pick for him.
He has been passed over several times in depth on the Flames and it's not like we have an allstar team here.
JMO i think he lacks confidence from the AHL to NHL transition. I have gotten the feeling that Sven feels he should just be in the NHL. But his game is not a 3rd/4th line player. It just don't think he is capable for those roles. So he has to be a 2nd line player. To be honest he is not good enough to be a 2nd line NHL player not now anyways. So if he isn't in Burke and Treliving plans then trade him and they did.
I expected the Flames would try to move him but what shocks everyone is that it is to Van.
