Good god people.
For comparison and a reality check for those who dont like this.
Linden Vey was traded for a 2nd round pick. He is likely not playing in the NHL next year.
Glencross was traded for a 2nd and a 3rd. He is retired.
Flames traded a 2nd round pick for a goalie that has the 2nd highest save percentage over the last 3 years and is signed for 2.5 million dollars. If resigned we give a conditional 3rd pick. Worst case he is a stop gap.
Jonas Hiller made 4.5 million dollars last year. He is out of the league.
Ramo made 3.8 million dollars last year. He is either out or will be a backup somewhere.
Flames won big here and have just improved significantly without giving anything significant of return, while still being in a healthy cap position.
