Calgary would be a better team with him on RW, the only real argument is if he was worth the acquisition cost.

Ok, let’s look at the Flames first two lines. You have Lindholm and Mangiapani right now. Mangi has 13 even strength goals, and will finish with 20-25. That pushes Taffoli down to the third, certainly the Canucks need him a lot more then we do. I agree he is not worth acquisition, he was a “nice” to have for Calgary, not a requirement.
Also I like Dube on the third line, TT would have brought something to that line, but Dube brings a lot as well. Really what the Flames have always needed is Backlund moved to a third line centre. Mangiapane is emerging as a top 6 winger, you do not want to mess with that right now.
