They didn’t trade 1 yr of Tkachuk

To be fair in grading what came in and what went out, you actually have to look at what the Flames would have had if they didn't make the trade - one more year of Tkachuk. That's all they had if they didn't make a move. The fact he would agree to sign helped them find a partner but didn't give them any more leverage. Tough position to be in.
