Even if we're using the Horvat trade as template, it's a better deal than what's suggested.

When does he get traded? Horvat was only moved as late as he was because the Canucks were making attempts to re-sign him. As I understand it, that's the same place the Flames are at right now. Even if he was moved at the start of the season, it's unlikely the deal was worth more. We know this because we also saw what they offers were for JT Miller before the he was signed and that was for a play-off run and a full season after the fact. It was roughly the same as what was received for Horvat.

Wat. Beauvillier was a cap throw in and four years older.

You prefer a mid-level prospect who has shown no progression in two seasons and has serious issues with his skating, to the point he wasn't even playing in the play-offs for the the Abbotsford Canucks, over a very clearly top four d-man who plays on a 3rd pairing to anchor it thanks to team depth?

The two players are significantly better.

If the trade isn't meeting organizational needs is one thing. The value is very VERY good.
