From the Flames perspective, they steal a player that their arch enemy showed interest in, and after a solid 15 points in 41 games a season ago, they will be hoping he can improve in 2024/25 and ultimately net them a solid asset or two at the trade deadline. With the likes of
Hunter Brzustewicz,
Zayne Parekh and Jeremie Poirier coming through the pipeline, the future is bright on the Flames blue line, so this move is certainly a short term option for both parties.
