I have no issue with the draft day trade block. Rumors of a 36-39M deal over 6 years was a lot but more importantly we don't know the acquisition cost. People claim the Tkachuk pick was involved (no way would I want that deal) others say Backs+ 2 2nds (ditto on that deal).
The deadline rumor is the one that really irks me. The price to acquire would have been cheap and re-signing him would have been easier. Most importantly the Flames likely avoid the sweep. The Flames have the Honda centre curse but remember Elliott also had a horrible career vs the Ducks where Bishop had owned them in his career
