I would run away from this trade quickly. Gusev is another small player and he's just played his first NHL season at the age of 28. He'll be 29 before the start of the next season and will have 66 games under his belt. That is the best asset coming back to the Flames? The other player is a guy with 3rd line center potential? The Flames take a big step backward with this trade and will be hoping the draft picks and Boqvist develop into something big, but that appears to be a long term play with three or four seasons before we see any tangible return. This is a rebuild trade.
