Not just a win now move at all.
The mindset that the only long term moves are trading for draft picks is silly.

This was a good trade for Calgary, notwithstanding that neither player produced much for Calagry.
The cost was low because Farabee was essentially a cap dump from Philly's perspective. Calagry can absorb it easily while they see if Farabee is worth something.
It's the basis of good trades, each team values the return more than the other team.
