Like I said, I understand the move. By itself, it's not that bad. I just wish Flames went younger with their bottom six.

This year alone the flames have added Jankowski and Hathaway full time to the bottom six and have tried Mangiapane, Lomberg,Klimchuk, Hrivik there as well.
Bennett and Lazar have also been fixtures in the bottom six.

Not sure which one you are referring too but neither Brouwer or Ferland are what I would call slow. They don't have blazing speed but they aren't slow. They are mid range...not many rosters with top to bottom speedsters.
They both have other issues but being slow isn't one of them IMO.

Definitely a guy that could prove very useful if he has something to prove
Hopefully he and Brouwer are interchangeable more than anything. He's a great guy to have in the playoffs, and I could see playing well on our 3rd & 4th line.
Is he? In what ways? Skating? Hitting? Puck handling? Hockey sense? Scoring? Passing?
In every aspect but scoring, Stewart has a heavy big shot. Most of the time he just floats around lazily or takes a dumb penalty. I really hope he proves me wrong.
I suppose. I wanted the Flames to improve this deadline. Or to try and recoup some picks. This does neither.
I can only hope he does well, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.
Why do you keep saying this?
Stewart isn't an either/or situation vs other deals. The Flames are still looking at all of the things they were looking at before. On top of that, Stewart came along for free and they were able to improve their depth with a guy that fills a role they need, comes free, and is highly motivated.
This idea that you want different changes is completely off the mark and irrelevant - they are just as likely to happen as they were before.
