I'm giving it a 6/10.
The Flames were not in a good situation to make deals either way. Trading Brodie would have meant throwing away the season symbolically, and that would have soured a lot of players and fans.
The guys they brought in are intriguing, they address needs, didn't cost much and one or both might end up signing here in the summer. Gustafsson has potential to be a steal even.
That said, it was nothing to get excited about either.
