Why does thread keep getting bumped? I keep thinking there is a trade but it's just people having pointless arguments.

The trade is done. If you want to truly analyze this trade, figure out who got selected with the Flames pick and then come back in a few years once there is more of a conclusion.

Toffoli makes about $4MM and scores about 20 goals a season. That's not too bad and better than a lot of other players.

Besides, when is the last time any Flames first round pick (outside of top 10) has amounted to anything much? Backlund like 15 years ago?

Or you can add maybe Kobasew, Jankowski, and Saprykin (none of these guys were top 6) if you look at the last 30 years.
