Value of: Valeri Nichushkin or Jake Virtanen to the Calgary Flames

Virtanen for Kylington/Andersson + 2nd in 17(or 3rd/17 + 3rd/18) + Poirer/Klimchuk

Quantity for Quality trades never garner happy remarks. And I don't think any team really wants Poirier, even if he is a decent prospect.
Kylington, Anderson and a first for Virtanen seems like a massive overpay, especially with the first included. However I'd feel bad for Virtanen. Him wanting to play for the Canucks and being a homegrown talent. As a Vancouver fan I probably still wouldn't do it.

We finally get our hands on a power forward, I don't think we'll be itching to deal him. Guys who play like Virtanen often take longer to hit their full stride. Bert didn't develop fully until he was 25/26

Bert didn't pay anything like Jake.

Virtanen for Kylington/Andersson + 2nd in 17(or 3rd/17 + 3rd/18) + Poirer/Klimchuk

Other stuff is fine but I wouldn't trade Kylington straight up, I have a strong feeling this kid is going to be very good.

Bertuzzi was the exception not the rule.
