While we didn't 'broker' any deals by taking on dead cap space, this is a good example of 'weaponizing' cap space.
If you can take on a reclamation project that's slightly overpaid while we're spending so little, you do it. Worst case, you lowered the asset cost of acquiring Frost. Best case, you get another player that can either contribute to the team or be traded for more assets later on.

What are the odds that 2 of a 2nd, 3rd, and 7th round pick turn into half as good as Farabee and Frost? 5%? Even if the Flyers get amazingly lucky and pick a superstar hall of famer in the 7th round this is a good trade for the Flames. Flyers fans should not be laughing. A 2nd, 3rd, and 7th doesn't seem like good value at all for a potential 2nd line centre and whatever Farabee is.
