Return is meh, not that far off probably his value as a rental, but also I don't think in the next 4 months as the trade deadline gets closer, that return wouldn't have gotten worse.

So for me, the timing is the issue, with the assumption is the Flames have some other irons in the fire to utilize this cap space, so will wait and see if there are other dominos to fall in the upcoming days to maximize the use of it and trade an asset as early as they have.

Flames have gotten that much less tougher though, he and Gudbranson were a solid 5 6 pair and he's been a proud Flame and gave a #### more then many others in his time here and a good interview.

Pro Sutter guy and three other pro Sutter guys left in the offseason, so that didn't help.. His agent didn't do him any favors by opening his big mouth, regardless of what was going on with negotiations last month.
