Posted this exact suggestion two weeks ago, along with a second part including Washington, and got run over. Still like this deal. Makes us better now and in the future.
I think a lot of people don't know a lot about Kyrou (myself included), so it seems underwhelming.
I've seen seen a few articles suggesting he's a budding star though, so maybe the value is there.

When he's a $1.75M cap hit. Multiply him by three and you're spending $5.25M on your fourth line. When you should really be spending closer to $3M and spending that additional $2.25M on top six forwards and top four d-men.
He is easily on the Flames 3rd line. The 4th line will have Lucic making 5.25 M so there's that.
This is terrible and you should feel terrible. Flames have accomplished nothing in the Tre era and nothing for 17 years. I've been patient, optimistic every new season. Rinse, repeat. Rinse again then go for another rinse. May as be waterboarding at this point.
Most Canadian teams haven’t done anything in 17 years. The over analysis of players on Canadian teams by their fans is crazy. GMS need to make moves based on improving their teams. Not what the fans want. Look what it’s gotten us thus far? Nothing but brain damage.

Dube is kind of the biggest question in my mind. Is he ready to play as a top 6 forward in the league? It may not be necessary to go out and sign one in free agency, or at least the value the Flames get out of a UFA may not be worth the difference between him and a mid range UFA. Or maybe he is a trade chip.
Pitlick seems like a prime candidate to take over that spot on the 3rd line RW with Lucic and Backlund and I don't think Dube is going down the line up. On the other hand it was a tough year for him and he was called out by Sutter as needing to improve.
It is not the third line... It is a checking line. Lucic does not belong on the ice against the other teams top line. Unless he is starting a fight with one of them

What you are blaming Canadian fans for the poor results of Canadian teams. How about straight forward poor GM's.

In 2020 they drafted 8 times, in 2019 five times, and in 2018 five times (and none before the 4th round). So they’re down 3 picks. 2021 draft hasn’t happened yet, so still plenty of time for more picks to be moved out.
The reality is +3 assets in the last three calendar years.

That's just simply a fact.
Not all assets being the same. I traded my $2 million house for a $200,000 house, so they're the same thing. House=house. Doesn't work that way.
Martin Pospisil =/= Oliver Wahlstrom.
