With the exception of one or two teams that go deep in the playoffs, the trade deadline benefits selling teams only. How many fans criticizing this trade wanted the Flames to make deadline additions? If you did then you got what you asked for and shouldn't be criticizing the GM. At least in this case the Flames have two more years of the player. He's not a great player but he's a good player and will probably net the Flames a decent return at the trade deadline in two seasons.
