I'm just going to say it....

But a lot of people expect a much bigger return than realistic.

One of Utah's top 10 (5?!) prospects PLUS a 1st plus....is not realistic. And Iove weegar. 3 second picks alone for Pete's say people!

I mean.. it's ok. But why did this warrant approaching Weegar 2 days ahead of the deadline?

I was getting the sense of the Flames hand being forced by Utah's offer.

Not sure that's a hand-forcing package.

Castagna looks quite a bit like the young Doug Risebrough.





Just don't make him GM, whatever you do!

Seems like a decent prospect. Big plays a position we need and can skate. Obviously you would have rather seen beadoiin and a 1st and tbis is quantity over quality. But it is a proper rebuild trade that will make our own picks better.

Flames have had a knack of finding gold where everyone else scrambles to find the players stat file.

That being said, a sexy brand name prospect seemed like a given at this point.

I’m usually not one to complain but this doesn’t seem like a can’t miss return that forced Conroy’s hand. Not a single quality piece.

We never quite get the player we want, do we...

Just gotta trust the scouts. They've been killing it lately.

Ok.

Take time to digest this one. Like the three 2nds, but Maata for 3 years and an unknown prospect is a.little underwhelming I'll admit.

Might as well have waited for him to potentially bounce back next year (aka Andersson this year)

I like Jonathan Castagna, that's a decent gamble on a player that had developed better then where he was drafted. I mean 3 2nd round picks is still the huge win here.

The return is fine. But why trade him at all if the return doesn’t force your hand?
