I agree they need to get bigger to match up against the top teams. But moving Hudler out to bring in Kessel isn't going to do anything to help that.
I just don't see Kessel as the answer to anything for the Flames right now. They don't have problems scoring. This a year 2 rebuild team, bringing in a massive cap hit for many more years is going against everything that a rebuilding team should be doing.
Build through the draft, make some smart trades and then a few years down the road if they are a legitimate contender that's the time you sell off some of your future to bring in a player like Kessel. Not now.
