Ceci is a $3.25M cap dump, Johansen was a $4M cap dump...that alone is worth a second and there is an opportunity cost to eating that cap for next year that has to be factored in.
Those teams wanted the Flames to do them a favour and the Flames didn't bite, has nothing to do with being cheap, has to do with these teams not paying the price associated with taking the cap dump.

Late 1st for Tanev
+ 2nd/3rd for the cap dump.
A 1st for Tanev and the cap dump favor isn't fair value.
I'm fine with the Dallas deal. I suspect we'll get the extra pick from it as well.
