Oh so we are now operating under that ideal that Kapanen is worthless.

But you're ok doing a one for one involving a rental D man like Hamonic that's most likely going to Free Agency? With the off chance he might decide to re-sign in Toronto when he specifically requested a trade out of the East to go back to the West where all his family is lol

I am not okay with that, in fact I have been vocally against that.

I guess my only question is what do you think Kapenen is worth?

This trade has a great skating young NHL calibre D man that will be under team control for several years at a decent price, a second round pick (could be middle round 2nd if the Flames fail to make the playoffs)

And a really young prospect that has been climbing up our prospect depth chart rapidly, that was being expected to go in the 3rd-4th round by most scouting reports, but fell all the way to the 7th round(probably simply due to size)

My only point is Zavgorodniy is going to be one of our top prospects in a few years, so it's not some scrub just added in there.
