Regardless, I would be pretty pissed if the Flames had done this.

Agreed with the overall point.
Definitely disagree with the Bennett-Galchenyuk comparison as if that trade went down one for one it would have been a brutal deal for Calgary. I get Galchenyuk had a 30 goal season but has had multiple off ice issues and is now on his 4th team in less than 3 years.
Imo he was a salary dump in this deal and I see his value closer to Frolik’s as he will probably get traded for a 3-5th round pick in 2 weeks unless he had a renaissance in Minny
