Very happy with this deal for many obvious reasons. There will always be a part of me that would have loved to have seen the Flames still have the first and two seconds and eventually see how those players turned out but this is absolutely the right move for the Flames. They address a glaring need by acquiring a young, proven asset. There are times when teams are in a position to deal picks and the Flames are absolutely in that position. They have a great crop of young players and to add a fantastic 22 year old defenseman to the team is truly ideal.
