I'm an outsider, but it seems to me that trading futures for Scheifele is a bad strategic plan. Consider the 2024-2025 roster:
Of the forwards shown, only 4 (Huberdeau, Mangiapane, Coleman and Pelletier) plus the scratched Brett Leason are guaranteed to be under contract, plus 1 of the defensemen (Andersson), unless you can re-sign Weegar, plus the goalies. Meanwhile, you've traded away Coronato, Dube and Valimaki, all of whom will probably play significant roles for the Flames if left there, and the 2023 first, and you didn't have a 2022 first, so other than Zary, Kuznetsov and Poirier, it's hard to see who will be coming up through the system. This looks to me like a looming collapse in 2024-2025 and a top-5 pick that June.
