Also giving the Flames credit for the Markstrom trade where they got Bahl might not qualify according to Pepsi?

Well the Sharks got Granlund (and other players) so it probably does not count either, or Meier for that matter as they got Zetterlund. But I think they both count.
But you are correct, trading guys with multiple years left on their contract for futures has happened 6 or 7 times in the past decade, with the Flames having one of those times. It is likely by the end of the year that the Flames will have at least 20% of the trades that are of that sort, possibly as high as 30%, in that last decade.
