That is the package that is better than an unprotected first and a 3rd that can turn into a second and a prospect with the Flames having to give no draft picks back the other way or retain salary after this year? That is the trade you think is better?

Yes. Edstrom has looked great and likely would be a higher draft pick id the draft was done again.
Hertl got 2 first round picks. Hanifin did not.
Who cares about a bottom team retaining a paltry 1.5 million.
