But as I've said I'm not even worried about that trade its over. Don't go spend our upcoming UFAs in similar trades. Look for quality of assets over quantity and try to focus on assets that can be here for the long term. You hit on a guy like Rasmus with a 2nd rounder and that is massive value.
The Flames best chance at turning things around quickly would be to bottom out the next few seasons s and land their next core and supplement that core with players they pick or draft through their UFAs and current prospects.

He's Flames property for now and next season, and likely to sign if both sides are looking to continue the relationship.
If he puts up 40 points both seasons and the Flames are out of the playoff mix they likely move him for a 2nd if they don't think they're going to sign him.
His value doesn't become zero or filler until it's zero.
