This deal makes alot of sense.

Lack lost the confidence of the team and the job. Moving him opens up an AHL roster spot for Parsons to gain experience working in tandem with Gillies. Riitich is now entrenched as the back-up with the Flames. We're set at the NHL level with 2 great prospects learning their craft in the minors.

Prout is a big right shot d man that will drop them with anyone. We lost a good deal of toughness on the back end when Engelland moved on, so we get that back. With or without subsequent deals Prout likely works in as the 6 or 7 d man for the Flames in the coming weeks.
