IMO there are valid reasons to like or dislike this move.
A ready for the NHL goalie prospect, at league minimum, with more team control is a win. Have to like that. Even more if you might be trading a goalie prospect soon in a deal for an elite C.
On the negative side, there were a lot of goalie options that wouldn't have cost a draft pick. And with Boston committed to other goalies and him being waiver eligible, they were over a barrel. Were you bidding against yourself?
Here's hoping his play shows he was worth all the Flames gave up and then some.
