Plus a mid first this year, which is nice but nothing magical.
Then you have DeAngelo who was on pace for over 60 points this year as a 24 year old right shot Dman. He'd be a great addition, but again another piece that needs to be protected in an expansion draft, giving the Flames their 4th NHL Dman that needs to be protected (5 if you count Kylington). He's also an RFA who will be looking for large money after his last two seasons.
Honestly not a great package for Johnny that could potentially really cause expansion draft problems.

Yeah I had andersson as kind of a throw in, reclamation project/swap for Janko but it all came down to what one thinks Gauthier could be. Had pretty good numbers in the AHL but struggling to gain a foot in the NHL but I definitely agree that we could get a better package.
