Ask yourself - Why is Minny a team that when healthly was one of the top teams in the league and a playoff team looking to trade this guy?
Sure if they package with other assets to actually get a better player it makes sense - But if they are dealing for futures there is a reason.
Obviously teams make mistakes and players can flourish elsewhere, but the Flames dont need to be in on / going for every mid forward that comes avail.
This is actually why i did not overly like the Frost and Fabaree trade . Sure the price was good - But to me neither move the needle. They are just kind of ...there.... for a mid standing type team
I would actually rather have neither of them, kept the assets and cap room (and traded Kuz for the same return Philly got) and go for Rossi now if he avail because I do think he has more upside and is a better age.
Clogging up the middle 6 and hoping one turns into a low end top line forward isn't going to be a successful long term build a cup contender strategy
