The Flames knew they were not going to be able to match firepower with the top teams in the league but were potentially one really solid blueliner away from having arguably the best D corps in the league.
I understand why the love was made and the price wasn’t bad if the Flames were going to co tend for the division. If the pick is 21-31 then it is a solid deal. If it is 1-10 then it is likely a disaster.

I agree with this. The only problem is that we are not using our defence the way Nashville does.
