Flames get the best, youngest player in the trade with the most control in terms of contract. Adding a franchise center to this team and having the ability to add a top line winger in Free agency would improve our chances next year and moving forward.

So even in a down year the Flames current duo produced 0.38 points per game more. It's a pretty clear downgrade on the ice.
And yes, if we kept both, we'd have to shed salary for Hall, but we'd be doing so out of the bottom 6, not removing offensive weapons.
