I never try to look at things as just one season but if this trade was made in the 2022 offseason we probably wouldn't have hated it.
Sharangovich was coming off 24 goals and 46 points in 76 games .
Toffoli was coming off 20 goals and 49 points in 74 games.
Over the last three seasons at 5v5:
Toffoli: GP - 208, G-40, P- 84
Sharangovich: GP-205, G-35, P-76
Starting to look a lot closer... and he's 6 years younger.

He's younger, he hasn't produced away from Jack Hughes well, and he was a healthy scratch in the playoffs.
The Flames traded a career year of Tyler Toffoli for a reclamation project. Sure, it might work - but that's not the value you're looking for on that.
The part that kills me is he may very well come in and score 15-20 goals, and keep us right where we are. This trade doesn't make the team better on the ice today, and I don't think it makes it better tomorrow either. This is a "swing" by Conroy. Time will tell, but man I don't like seeing that type of asset go out on a swing like this for a player who isn't exactly on an upward trajectory. The part that worries me the most is that our professional scouts have not been particularly good - and this seems to be a trade that comes from them.
