Then you do your best to maximize your return when you know you're not going to sign him.
Nobody was moving 1st round picks.
He picked up a solid 24-25 year old winger, and a pick.
The negativity around the trade at the time was never warranted. I never expected the guy to out score Toffoli this year but was still happy they moved on from Toffoli and like the return given the market.

I'm going to disagree seeing the trade was widely panned by NHL media so the criticism of the return isn't just a Flames fan take. I still think the Flames could and should have got more for him but I am also happy that Sharangovic is playing well.
