What was the biggest fleecing by a Flames GM?

Not to mention there is still a 4th rounder from the Hudler trade to come next year which could turn into something considering the Flames recent success in that round.

I really would vote for this one because it was a outright fleecing. Langkow was a warrior for the Flames even though his career really ended too soon.

I liked Gauthier because he was absolutely fearless and he was intimidating down the boards. But Langkow was just a great 5 foot scorer.

I think we have to remember that Todd Harvey looked like he was going to be the next big thing in complete players. He was very highly thought of.

He was a junior monster, he was the perfect power forward and was considered to have a high IQ and elite hands, he also had a real nasty edge to his game. I also remember that he had a really strong World Juniors in 1995. I can really understand why Harvey was coveted by Dallas.
