To some extent, this is similar to when the Flames got Lindholm and Hanifin.
Most hated that trade, but they got 12 years of Lindholm and Hanifin for 2 years of Hamilton and 1 year of Ferland.
We’ll get multiple years out of Shar for 1 year of Toffoli.
Calgary needed to get younger and cheaper, and they accomplished that.
They were never in the short term going to get younger, cheaper and better.
No one was willing to give up a first round pick for Toffoli.
Taylor Hall was given away for free. Should Toffoli actually have been worth so much more?
