And this is why, outside of the Fanboyism that exists is the main reason why Flames fans might not love this deal.
The chances that Vancouver hits a home run out of this trade IMO is higher than the chances the Flames do. What I mean by that, is it is more likely that Sven puts it together with the change of scenery and becomes an impact / difference making player for the Canucks than it is the Flames select such a player with this 2nd round pick. However, I don't believe that either of those scenario's is likely.
Highest likely outcome is that this ends up being nothing more than a minor trade involving at best a couple of average assets. And as it sits now, I think this deal is slightly in favour of the Flames (and I do mean slightly) that the 2nd round pick becomes a better asset than Sven moving forward.
So, I think the Flames have the highest likely hood of winning what will be a minor deal, and the win isn't that big. But the Canucks have the better chance at hitting a home run with this than the Flames do.
