Really? A 40 goal scorer? If Kuzmenko were a 40 goal scorer the Canucks wouldn't have dealt him. Kuzmenko was a salary dump. Everyone has been talking about it for weeks and Vancouver made no qualms about saying he would be shipped out to balance salaries. So this is no big coup for the Flames. They ate a contract and player that Vancouver didn't want and the Flames were compensated with one of the prospects or picks. It's a good futures package but hardly the haul suggested from some of the other teams. We should be happy with it and hope Lindholm goes to Vancouver and continues his uninspired play, dragging the Canucks back into a wild card slot, for the best 1st possible, but helping them lose in the conference finals and securing that third round pick.
