If you frame the return Boston got in the best possible way, and are completely dismissive of the return the Flames got, it's easy to make the other trade look a lot better.

Well the flames return isn’t good at all. A first, a second and a couple junker throw ins. Even if you call the first rounders a wash, Minten alone was worth significantly more than the rest of the trade, with the added bonus he addresses the biggest position of need for the flames.
