To Calgary:
Radek Faksa Oliwer Kaski
To NYI:
Troy Stecher Janne Kuokkanen CGY 3rd 2020
The Flames agree to this deal. Faksa is a young forward locked up for 4 years. Calgary desperately needed another forward and he checks a lot of boxes for us. Kaski is a defenseman who I've had an eye on since he came over to N.A. last year. He's the leading defenseman for his KHL team this season and if he comes back to the NHL it should be as a full-timer. It's a risk but I'll take it on him.
I really hated to give up Kuokkanen and the 3rd in this deal but that's what it took to get the deal done. Stecher is decent and the Islanders have him locked up for 4 years.
Jussi was great to deal with. One of the quicker deals that I've done in my career as a GM. Thanks to Jussi for making it easy.

First of all, I want to say big thanks to Theo. An absolute pleasure to do trade with him, no bs and lowballing; fair and square mutual respect. Hard to loose Faksa and Kaski. Had high hopes on both of them, but offer was good in overall. Especially to have young and solid D Stecher in the team, makes a big difference. Kuokkanen will be a good add on AHL atm. I think this deal benefits both of us.
