I voted "Vancouver did okay". While I'm not quite as put off about the trade as I was earlier, I still think Sven has it in him to be a good NHLer. And with VAN lacking in the department of youngsters with potential, It almost feels like the Flames did them a solid.
The 2015 pick is much better than the 2017 pick that was rumored however. It's good that the Flames have been able to collect that number of picks for the upcoming draft. Hopefully it pays dividends in the long run.
