From the Canucks stand point this deal is what they wanted to make.

Get a legitimate top six player.
Clear some cap space for the coming off-season
Find a new home for Kuzmenko (who is good and Flames fans will like)

The cost of doing this was a 1st round pick (What everyone expected)
A good prospect (What everyone with a head on their shoulder expected)
Other pieces. (Nothing huge, an NHL long shot and a lower pick. Didn't see it coming but it's not the end of the world).

People saying that Allvin was fleeced just weren't paying attention. This was the type of deal Lindholm was going to get and the type of deal that the Canucks were going to give up (something I mentioned a week ago when this deal was coming to fruition).
