Not to mention Konecny, who is almost exactly what we could use right now.
It's interesting to look back at the original poll. Most people didn't even think the trade was fair for the Flames, but an absolute steal. It seems like most people thought he was a top pairing D (or would be soon). I don't think you give up those assets and call it a steal unless you think you're getting an all-star caliber player.
