I'm relatively pleased with the Flames' deadline. I was one of the people pushing to trade older players for futures. However, I can accept maintaining the status quo, which is basically what the Flames did. What I would not have been happy about is paying futures for older players.

I say that the Flames basically maintained the status quo because neither deal is a headliner. The Dryden Hunt trade is a nothing burger. That said, I actually like the other trade quite a bit. I see it as Nick being an upgrade on Brett and Stetcher being an upgrade on Mackie.
