That dynamic is weird and the idea that the Canucks won a trade where they traded Quinn Hughes is wild to me. Quinn Hughes led their team in scoring by 26 points last year and played far fewer games than the players he was leading by that much. It was an abject failure of that franchise to have a player that good (the best player far and away drafted in the 2018 draft) and end up in a situation where you just have to trade him because your team is so bad.
The Flames are still bad, they have been rebuilding for two and half years right now, they still have far more in their system than the Canucks do even after this trade and they still have assets to trade away.
