True but there are a ton of question marks on all the Flames assets going the other way. None of those players are proven. Granlund is playing in the NHL but not doing much. The prospects are good but both Porier and Jankowski are older than Drouin and have done less. The D prospects have not done much either.
It is a lot to give up in terms of youth but getting a top 3 pick by giving up a late 1st, a 2nd and a 3rd is pretty good value for the Flames
