I like this deal for multiple reasons.
-Makes LA better in the short term. Ideally they'll be more formidable roadblock for the Oilers/Knights
-Frees up the market for Calgary's trade block.
-Will hopefully dampen the amount of comments around Calgary's GMs getting owned by players/agents/other teams. Players with NMC / limited NTC have leverage in today's NHL. The returns for Andersson, Hanafin, etc.. are better than Panarins.
