You have to be able to see that Minten is the only piece in that deal that would be really interesting to Calgary right?

Agreed.

The multiple 1sts and picks don't hold any value for you?

Why would they not just separate the pieces in the deal and acquire 1st round picks from multiple teams instead of getting a pick now, getting a pick two years out from a team that is smack in a cup window. All while using all their retention spots and eating 4.9 million to have two players not play in Calgary for a couple years. Bertuzzi walks, Jarnkrok is 32 and doesn't fit a team getting younger, Samsonov doesn't open a sport for Wolf and Timmins is terrible and out indefinitely again.

Brad's pile of rejects plus MInton and some picks does not get you that haul
