Despite not getting a first this was still an amazing trade for Calgary.

Would you say all 3 pieces we got were worth about a 2nd?
Jokipakka = 2nd (Not bad since he was drafted with a 7th)
2nd = 2nd
Pollock = 2nd (45th OA pick in 2014)
That's pretty damn good IMO.
I'd say Jokipakka probably is closer to a 3rd/4th but still, a good deal overall and he's got room to grow.
To be fair to Raymond I think he excels more in the cycle game and terrible at playing a transition/stretch pass offence. I think he might fit in better with a high possession team.

I think if you gave him more structure it would be beneficial. It was not like he was playing with absolute studs on the leafsI think most players would fit quite well playing with a bunch of high possession players. The thing is, Raymond needs other players to get possession first as he doesn't drive possession himself. That makes him pretty much useless.
