The Lindholm trade was pretty ‘wow’. The Flames not only got the current best player in the deal, but a first, a very interesting prospect, and a throw-in – all under team control, while Lindholm himself is ready to walk.
In retrospect, the Toffoli trade is up there, too. The Flames got back a player with similar production, but younger and cheaper; dodged an expensive re-signing; and added a pick while doing it.
