With everyone talking about the importance (Rightly so.) of 'drafting and developing talent' it strikes me a little odd at the hurry to move out a legit Top 4 defenseman who seemingly wants to be here long term which the Flames drafted and developed.
I mean ya if the contract ask is insane or the trade offer is too good you have to consider it of course. While there are prospects in the pipeline we think will be really good they are still 'magic beans' at this point.
If Rasmus wants to be here for the next 7-8 years then that is a good thing we should all be pumped for!
