It's a good point.
Lindy has 1 more goal with much greater opportunity than Kuzmenko has likely been granted to this point.
You can usually tell when a fan is downplaying the value of the pieces going the other way (when they wouldn't hesitate to speak positively of them the day prior). A little jilted, to say the least. Even goes out of his way to erase the value of a 1st. Most drafts upper tiers fall off well before that point even in a good year. A 1st is still a decent ticket though.
And I like that he has Brz potentially an NHLer as a footnote.
It's a pretty damn good piece, bud. His value is probably dampened more than it should among that fanbase only because they're already sitting on a guy like Hughes. But this kid is producing like Hughes in his D+1 and that's nothing to scoff at. I like how hf frames it as "selling high". He's still a kid and developing, I'm not sure that term means what they think it means. "Selling high" is something you say about a vet, when you know what they are and have a career average as a baseline.
A lot of residual Benning PTSD in that fanbase for sure. They're desperate to spin it in a way that helps affirm that they're in a better place now. But there's a higher floor to this trade for the Flames (a number of controlled assets) than there is for the Canucks (UFA rental that may or may not pan out as intended).
