It's a great trade for the Flames, Kuzmenko is deadweight and Pelletier is a tweener type prospect. These are two established NHL players in their primes who could still project to be 20+ goal, 50+ point players or better. A second round pick turning into that 3-4 years down the road would be seen as a huge win, to get two of them contributing now at such a low cost? Stellar trade.
