I hope Ras is traded at the draft so that we can get hold of another 1st round pick +, especially IF we end up in worst case scenario territory of missing the playoffs and giving our pick to Montreal.
I'm concerned like others that his value is likely going down with this very pedestrian season he's having, but there's still lots of reasons for Flames fans to be positive about the return:
- Ras will have another year on his contract at a VERY good cap hit
- Flames could retain half and make it even better
- Ras is a Right-Hand Shot, which seems to garner more value than LHD these days
- Name value, he's considered a top-4 Defensemen league-wide and when he's at his best, plays with a bit of edge and swagger
