Boomer, Pinder and Rhett dive into newly acquired Flames defenseman Zach Whitecloud, who came over in the Rasmus Andersson deal. Is Whitecloud just a short-term piece the Flames could flip before the deadline, or do they actually see him as part of the future on Calgary’s blue line? The guys break down his fit, his value around the league, and what this move might signal about the Flames’ long-term plan.

He's kinda irrelevant, he does next to nothing on ice, which is good because he doesn't do enough to drag you back to the middle.
Whitecloud is a better defenseman than Anderson will ever be! Anderson is a joke!
Pinder always thinks they're getting a "haul". Whitecloud is not bringing you a "haul". But they do have to trade someone, and maybe 2 people to short Huska's options.
Trade him Back to Vegas for a No name Defender with no chance of staying in the NHL… or a Pick that is 5 years away…
Vegas and Dallas with the Whole No Tax System are preferable choices for Players to sign long term contracts… System is rigged
Trade over the break
Trade him at the Draft or keep him you need a quality D man trade the lower end players unless you can pull a good pick like a high first
It's a win/win either way. Great person and player to help continue to build the culture and also a decent trade option for teams needing more stability.
Trade
They gave up Anderrson and got a first and a second. If they trade Whitecloud with 2+ years remaining at $2.75 million they could get at least a first back. Now it's Andersson for 2 firsts and a potential 3rd first. Trade him. He's 29 and will not be on the good Flames.
Move Weegar…he's on the decline.
