Think of the trade this way:
Lindholm and Vladar for Eklund
Couture makes the cap work.
I think if SJ adds a second rounder OR retains a million, it is a good trade.

Which is not a good trade for the Flames.
If it were Lindholm for Eklund + 2nd, that is getting closer. Then, if you want to give us Couture, add a 3rd
