Although Bjugstad is a RW, I wouldn't say he's an elite one and so the trade of both Bennett and Dube is a big loss for the Flames, because I believe Bennett is still improving and Dube will be an effective middle 6er probably this season. Are we really gaining anything over having Ferland as 1RW, outside of a RHS? Throwing in Fox and a 4th for a 2018 1st rounder (15 OA) also seems like a big gamble, unless there was some insider info leading you to believe we could not sign Fox.
As for Brodie, although we MIGHT make out fine with the picks in 2-3 years, he should be used in a hockey trade to get that top-level RW we need now.
