I think the Flames did well with the trade. The #10 pick would have been a homerun, but looking at past trades they got excellent value for a aging netminder. First have generally only been traded for young goalies, not veterans. Kuemper trade should be the closest comparable, he was 21 at the time, there was retention, but only one year left on his contract.
