While I agree that this trade will basically always be a win for the Flames, I still don't think Vancouver will lose any sleep over this even if they don't extend either of those guys (I think they'll re-sign Zadorov, Lindholm we'll see).
Only way I'd say Vancouver truly loses the trade is if they give Zadorov the bag and his production falls off a cliff, or if Brzustewicz pans out to be an all-star and our franchise dman and Hughes pulls a Chucky and decides to go stateside to play with one of his bros.
