Not sure the fact that Pelletier is pretty much the same age and has never been able to stick in the NHL makes him a prospect.
I have acknowledged they traded what ended up now being a sophomore RW with Michigan State who has 3 points in 11 games. Will be interesting to see how he turns out and if the trade tree ends at Farabee and Frost on the Flames side.

I'm not against the return we got, but we very clearly traded out draft picks plus assets for two roster players that had each played enough NHL games to know exactly what we were getting. Flipping Frost and Farabee afterward for draft picks would have been in-tune with a rebuilding effort. What we did was try to add a couple of young current NHLers that could help us make the playoffs,,, which is actually in tune with what Maloney has said ("no draft picks") and what Edwards said a couple weeks back ("we like our core, we want to add pieces").
