I don't think Bourque is much better than Pelletier. Pelletier is only 10 months older and if you look at their QMJHL and AHL careers it's pretty similar.
Pelletier:
OMJHL - 1.31 PPG
AHL - 0.93 PPG
Bourque:
QMJHL - 1.37 PPG
AHL - 0.88 PPG
Very much a case of "the other teams prospect is just shinier than ours". Pelletier's injury concerns this past season suck, but his AHL performance prior to that was great and it's being overlooked.
I'm not even sure I'd love the deal if you took out Pelletier though.
Kadri: 5 x $7.0M
Coleman: 3 x $4.9M
for
Seguin: 3 x $9.85M
1st
Bourque
That's probably more fair I guess, but Seguin has the worst contract in the trade and not sure the Flames are really being compensated for that. Feel like the Flames could get a 1st for each of Kadri and Coleman without having to take on a deal like Seguins.

Keep in mind the Flames have to meet the cap floor.
