We can look at it as a win win. But I can’t be bothered to be all diplomatic.
I saw it as
Outbound: streaky F, and a soft one dimensional offensive D sheltered by a Norris calibre genius on D, plus a prospect who likely wasn’t going to sign
InBound: well rounded F who was a 5th overall and at the point of his career poised to breakout, and young mobile D with some offense and top 2 upside, both younger and RFA
Granted Ferly has surprised before getting hurt. Good for him.
Flames win. This is awesome
