The Athletic analysts grading the trade as an A for the Flames across the board. They go into a lot more detail, but here’s the gist of their assessments.
Quote:
Dom Luszczyszyn: In terms of fit, Tyler Toffoli feels perfect for the Flames: A hard-working scorer who can drive play and create chances on his own.
Grade: A

Quote:
Sean Gentile: Toffoli is good. This season has been a bit of a mess for him, by virtue of playing for the Canadiens, but he’s a year out from 28 goals in 52 games. That’s a legit top-six winger — and for the Flames, he’s a sorely needed second- or third-line guy.
Grade: A

Quote:
Corey Pronman: Toffoli’s skill, hockey sense and shot make him a useful offensive piece. His so-so skating limits him from being the guy who can drive a top-two line by himself, but for the Flames he can be a solid middle-six piece to complement an already strong offensive group at a reasonable cap hit.
Grade: A
