OK, but Darren Haynes doesn't have any inside access to Calgary's GM. He's literally an opinion writer.

He's also the Flames beat writer for Canadian Press.

Francis says it's for a 3rd

Ryan Leslie @SNryanleslie
3rd round pick for Gustafson

#Flames

[Ashasx]

Unconditional? Even better.

[Dragomir]

This is actually a decent deal especially if we re-sign him.

It's likely even better if we don't LOL.

TSN seems to be the only ones reluctant to call this deal done

This is a top 5 deal of the day!

Gustafsson has been pretty comparable to Hanifin over the last two seasons. I'd say that's a good return for a 3rd rounder.

Because it involves Calgary. They aren't reluctant they just don't give a ####

[Nelson]

I'm really hoping the Flames get the 3rd from Neal so they have a full draft.

[djsFlames]

Given the other prices, this trade legitimately falls between good and great.

Could bring instant upside to the team into the playoff stretch in an area they require.

[TheIronMaiden]

I am very happy the Flames will go into the draft with a 1st and a 2nd. This team needs to restock the cupboards badly.

TSN still hasn’t added this trade to the list of what Calgary did.

Ryan Pike @RyanNPike
Also, shouldn't be surprising, but #Flames scouted Erik Gustafsson HEAVILY before he signed with Chicago.

Well, TSN is trash.

[sureLoss]

TSN probably hasn't officially added it because the Davidson trade needs to go through first to give the Flames the necessary cap space I believe.

thanks heaven!!! Not a fan of Barrie.

[Johnny Makarov]

He was 6th in d scoring last year. A 3rd rounder is a pretty good deal.

He also outscored Barrie last year.
