I remember that day I started a "Sutter get's fleeced by Burke" thread that was locked and the reasoning was that it was too early to tell. To counter I will say that you could tell that very day that it was not a good trade for the Calgary Flames and as time has passed it will go down as the 2nd worst trade in the history of the Franchise. It's not that Dion is an all-star but the fact is he was worth at the time a lot more than what the Flames got in return which as a bunch of roster players Burke didn't even want. Should have been a first round pick and or top prospect at the very least that could have been a contributor for this team today. I mean look what Burke got for Luke Schenn and Phaneuf was at the time of the trade much more regarded.
