I like the trade, clearly Flames wanted Grushnikov. They had a dozen teams offering them a second+. I could not care less what individual writers rate prospects as, those are all based on hype and a defensive dman will not be ranked high. I would rather trust multiple professionals scouting a player for multiple weeks than an individual writers ability to rank them.
People don’t seem to mention that he also had 5 points in 6 playoff games last year, looks like a playoff performer. If Dallas didn’t think highly of him, he would not have played all year in the AHL as a 20 year old
