Two years gives the Flames a chance to evaluate Kylington and see if he is worth a long term commitment. He has had only one year in the NHL.
Next summer they can talk to him about an extension if he has a second good year.
Zadina is closer to Valimaki. As Jiri says he is probably worth more, but the defense position being more important helps to balance things out.
From the Sven perspective of being worth a second round pick, I have to think that Zadina is probably worth a second and Valimaki a fourth. So would Valimaki and a third get the deal done?
Is Zadina worth doing the deal?
What are the better alternatives for a young scorer that might just need a different/better situation?
