I am really conflicted on this...
On one hand, Chia sucks in trades. I would expect the Oilers to give up value and not address any significant needs. I like this as a Flames' fan.
On the other hand, Edmonton sucks at drafting, so I wouldn't expect that pick to help at all in the long run. They suck at development too, so I don't expect that young player to help at all in the long run. Their backup goalie is whom I think will be traded - Talbot - and it will leave them exposed. However, he is more than likely to walk in the offseason.
Either way, as a Flames' fan, I love this.
