I agree with Corsi's point that it doesn't need to be a fleecing. I always liked Lindholm, and hope it works out for him there. I don't need it to be a disaster for Vancouver, in order for it to be a great trade for the Flames.
The Flames did what they needed to do (move on from Lindholm), and they got a great collection of assets in return, that suit their needs going forward.
If Kuzmenko turns out to be a hidden gem, then the deal becomes a home run win for the Flames. Even if Van wins the cup as a result of it.
