He is selling a pick with a 12% chance ever playing in the NHL (which he obtained for selling a rental backup goaltender at the trade deadline) for a young prospect who has a 100% chance. It’s like trading a mid 3rd round pick that you got for free for a late 1st round pick. The team still has the same number of assets, but one of them might now be considered one of their top prospects. All the Flames are missing out on is the development time and the high probability that a 3rd round pick won’t make the NHL.
I agree with those who say this might be the steal of the day.
