I'm not sure how anyone could really see trading your number one scorer for a 30 point forward and a pick as a win now move. It looks like a move that makes the Flames substantially worse on the ice for the upcoming season. If these are the kinds of moves they make with Lindholm, Hannifin and Backlund, the Flames are going to be a much worse team in 23-24. This trade sets a standard suited for those hoping to see the team tank and go into a rebuild.
