A starting goalie and a 1st.
Who would have predicted the return on Tkachuk or Lindhom?
Rightly or wrongly if you went to a Leafs fan forum and said you wouldn’t trade Anderson for Marner, you’d likely take considerable heat for that take. Oh, but wait, fans of other teams, specifically the Leafs are dumb and Flames fans are smart.

lol extra deflecting details aside you can’t because you know it’s a trade tilted hard towards the Leafs.
Lindholm went for about what was expected a late 1st, a cap dump, and a prospect. Question is really did Vancouver screw up the cap dump.
Tkachuk was an RFA.
Never said Leafs fans are dumb but fans always overestimate what UFAs will return. It happened for basically every UFA the Flames traded this year on this very forum. People were expecting top prospects for Hanifin and Tanev going into the deadline.
