Not sure what to make of it either, although it was interesting to see the media go from slagging Dion to making him out to be the next coming of Gilmour/Sundin, etc.
Might as well have traded him for a bag of cheezies for all good the other pieces did for us.

horrible horrible trade!!!!!
Add to the fact that a trade as bad, if not worse, was made a couple of days later.
That entire week set the franchise back big time.

In turn, the Ian White trade did land us both Tommy K. (who was very servicble) and Anton Babchuk.

We got Matt "fricken" Stajan and the Leafs got someone to change the stereo in their locker room.
In the end both teams benefited and went on to make deep runs in the playoffs and continue to have success........oh wait......

It was a horrible trade.
3 of those players are gone and the other is absolutely horrible. We gained absolutely nothing and lost our biggest trade bait.
It was the first sign that Sutter had lost his mind as a GM and probably the worst moment for the Flames in the last 10 years.

A trade where both teams lost and both have suffered with boat anchor contracts as a result

It was a good trade in that we traded away a terrible defenseman who can't turn right.
However, we should have gotten more since we knew he was a problem before anyone else did. At least create a bidding war, not trade in the dark.

Nobody held a gun to Sutter's head to sign Stajan.

Wish Sutter had just given him to the Leafs for free. The garbage we got in return has been a plague.

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.

You can say that for sure. For all we know, Stajan coulda been packin heat going into contract negotiations.

Should have traded Dion about 6 months sooner, during the summer of 2009, for blue chip prospects and/or high draft picks.
Woulda, coulda, shoulda......

While Darryl could have got more for Dion, if you pick winners/losers based on who got better from the trade it's kind of a wash. In fact, I would say that it's turned out a lot worse for toronto than almost anyone imagined
