I'm pointing out that quantity doesn't make it a haul or an extremely good deal if the quantity has little value.

A late 1st and Brzustewicz for Lindholm is pretty much how Id' sum it up.

Kuzmenko is a cap dump for the Canucks and where Calgary is in their window will be irrelevant to them in the long term which is why I think they deal him before he becomes another distraction for them.

This trade about of a win-win trade as it gets.
The most likely scenario is that the Canucks don't get a cup and the Flames get no NHL players out of the return across all the pieces they got.
They at least have multiple shots now and got about as good of a prospect as teams ever do in deadline trades.
Pretty standard fare for a deadline rental. Show us the examples of a rental playing mediocre hockey getting a wildly better return or go to a Canuck's forum if you want to talk down the return lol.
