Once that's the plan you just add back as much value as they can. It's looking like the Flames added some decent value. Hopefully Suniev adds to the mix.
Those that wrote him off as a fourth liner early in the season ... sigh

I still think the Flames got lowballed on that trade because the league is capped out.
We gave up a 1st(26th overall) + Heinamen(B+ prospect, 2nd rnd) + 5th(cost of sending Pitlick back). For 2.5 years of Toffoli. He had a career year and we got a player that was a healthy scratch in the playoffs, and most here never heard of + 3rd.
I was hoping we could get a similar return to Tarasenko.
It remains to be seen if 2 years of Sharangovich are worth close to a 1st. I'm glad he's on a heater, but just like blindly assuming he was a 4th liner was wrong so is the idea that he will be an impact player from here on out. Happy he's looking good out there right now and rooting for him to make NJ regret the trade.
