I don't really care if the Flames acquired forwards.

Before today, the clear need was goaltending. After today, the clear need is still goaltending. No point overpaying for other areas.
The goaltending market is nonexistent, so there really wasn't much to do.

The only trade that bugs me is the Stone trade. 9.5 mill is the going rate for a point-per-game, defensively-sound, locker room-leading, winger. The contract will take Stone right through his prime, and Vegas really didn't give up all that much to get him.
That trade was a huge win for Vegas. Stone is a top 5 RW in the NHL.
