Using him as a throw-in to get a pick that you could acquire with other assets is wasteful.

I’m not saying the Flames should trade Pospisil, but why are we assuming the Flames can get #10 OA with other assets? Because I don’t see Markstrom cutting it.
And Pospisil is a great fit for the Devil’s needs. They need someone to play a checking role in the 3rd line who can play with skilled guys like Mercer and Palat. They need to replace Macleod. They want to get tougher to play against. They put a premium in team speed. And Fitzgerald has said he’s looking for guys in the 23-25 age range. Pospisil checks almost every box - and he checks all of them if he can play C.
