I think that the Flames felt that with the recent play of Mangiapane, Dube, and Sam Bennett that defence became a more urgent need. Certainly it looked like Brad drew the line at 3rd round pick and was not willing to give up more.

They can have a look at the 4 UFA defencemen and decide who to keep for next year. I believe they will definitely sit Valamaki and attempt to sign Taylor Hall in the off season.
