The Flames already got good value out of the trade.
With the way Lindholm has fallen off a cliff, this is a good return and anything that happens with Kuzmenko is a bonus. If it was for the good Lindholm and included retention, then we would probably be more concerned, but given the current state the Flames should be happy. I doubt Lindholm garners a similar return at the TDL the way his play was headed. Conroy did well here.
