I don't like the trade for the Flames. Here's why:
1. The Flames don't need Garland, and that's also a part of the reason Canucks fans like throwing him in trades. Because $5M of cap space are more valuable than what he provides on the ice.
2. Kravtsov is done, and I don't see him returning to the NHL
3. Woo cleared waivers at the beginning of the season and could've been had for free, he will have to pass them again next year if he doesn't make the team.
Okay, so the Flames are getting back what is equivalent to trading up from a 2nd(#43) to a 1st (#30) in 2024. That's not nearly enough in my book. It doesn't matter how many Dubes, Gilberts, and Ruzickas I offer you for Hronek, you won't trade him.
Now the Flames might consider trading Weegar, but unless it's an overpay (Stud prospect or a couple of firsts), I think that would be something they do in the off-season 2025, or 26, when another D prospect is ready to take a step.
