That trade really does look good now as they way he played for the Canucks wouldn't cut it on the Flames so they would have been forced into a situation next season where they had to play him or trade him and it's doubtful he get's anywhere near a 2nd round pick in return in that situation where teams know you don't have a spot for him. It's simply hard to imagine even with another offseason that he ever gets enough jam in his game to become a regular on this team. It's unfortunate but maybe this team should stay clear of Swiss born players after the last couple have crashed and burned for us.
