That's exciting stuff for fans.

None of those guys have even played a game yet, I think it’s way too early to call them steals and say the team is reloaded. The Flames have drafted quite well lately and grabbed a very similar quality player to Sillinger in Coronato.
The Blue Jackets also gave up a 2019 first, a 2020 second, a 2021 second, and prospects for 30 games of Duchene and Dzingle.
Then they let Duchene, Dzingle, Panarin, and Bobrovsky all walk for nothing. They also moved Anderson for Domi which is looking like a big miss.
Last year they were terrible and they are projected to be terrible again this year. Not exactly a franchise to emulate IMO.
They are full on rebuilding now though and I get that lots of Flames fans want to see that in Calgary as well. Could happen as early as next off season depending on the Tkachuk / Gaudreau situation.
