Now that I had some time to think, I actually like this deal quite a bit.

I always thought the price should be around 1 + 2 x 2nds. I think we got the equivalent of that and even slightly more.

Whitecloud is a solid D, and I think many here are going to like his game. Defense, physicality, drops the gloves. I would argue that he's worth at least a 2nd, and he is signed to a pretty good contract.

The only question I have is regarding the log jam on RD. I think it makes it harder to give both Parekh and Brz regular minutes, unless they make another move. I might be in the minority, but I actually like Whitecloud better than Lohrei in terms of a fit with the Flames, because they already have that player in Parekh.
