Calgary's always been defense first. I think they need to skew more towards offense and creativity rather than shot volume and dump & chase. But that requires the right mix of players and skill, which the Flames might have some shortage of at the moment.
Draft well and keep going for more skill.
EDIT: To stay on topic, I think this deal is fair enough for age/production, but as other's have said, I'd still would have kept Rantanen in the end.
