You are correct. He was drafted 27th overall in 85 by the Flames.

Admittedly the Mullen and Nieuwendyk trades were before my time. Therefore my answer will be from 2004 when we acquired Kiprusoff.

It was the first time in my life the flames had been relevant when it came to the playoff picture during mid-season. I remember getting to school the morning after the trade and my friend asking "who the hell is Miikka Kiprusoff?". Normally I had these answers, but I couldn't find one for him. IIRC we lost 6-5 in OT during Kipper's first start.

We obviously know how the rest of that story goes, but something about the ebs and flows of the 03/04 season make that trade special to me as a flames fan. The unfamiliar aspect gets me every time. He essentially came out of nowhere and changed our season. Since then we've seen highly anticipated trades (first Jokinen trade, Bouwmeester trade and sign), but nothing has quite compared in my eyes.

Vlasic has been amazing for the Sharks, but what that trade did for this franchise in my time cheering for it gives it my vote.

The Flames traded Nilson to the North Stars for the 2nd round draft pick (27)

Then it was Nilson for a pick, it wasn't player for player. I think the bigger fleecing was nieuwendyk to the stats for Iggy who was drafted by the stars.

I'm sure the Stars (or North Stars), looking back at history, felt they got really fleeced by that deal. The Magic Man didn't get them anywhere. On top of that, Nilson went to the Oilers and won a cup there. I actually consider the Nieuwendyk/Iggy trade even as it worked out for both sides. Stars got their Cup with Nieuwy and Flames got a franchise player and HOF with Iggy.

That trade was not a "fleecing" in any way, shape or form.

It was a solid trade for both teams.
It doesn't matter who they picked

It's the value of the pick, not the player it turned out to be

If the flames traded Matt stajan for the 1st overall pick next year it's an incredible trade, if they pick the next Yakupov or Daigle etc. And it busts that doesn't make it a bad trade

Which is frankly a dumb way to look at it. It's irrelevant if a pick or a player exceeds the recognized value at the time of the trade. Kipper did not have a lot of value at the time of the trade. The 2nd rounder SJ used to pick Vlasic did not have much value at the time of the trade. It wasn't a fleecing by anybody.

Otherwise you have the absurd scenario where if the Flames trade Backlund tomorrow for a 2nd round pick, and that 2nd round pick turns out to be a Hall of Flames defenseman, then that's a fleecing by Treliving. It wouldn't be. A 2nd round pick is extremely unlikely to turn out to be a better player than Backlund. Trading him for a 2nd round pick would be a bad trade.

Some of the reactions around the league are pretty telling for how thoroughly Treliving skinned Sweeney on that trade in terms of percieved value, even if he did gift Dougie to us as an insult to Chiarelli.
  • An anonymous GM was surprised Dougie was even available at all
  • Many other fanbases going "how weren't we able to beat that package?"
  • Boston fans rioting online
  • Fierce Boston rivals like Montreal, Toronto were actually expressing their sympathies
  • Not one, not two, but three threads on HF in under an hour
  • "EPIC FAIL" Boston newspaper headline splash of Sweeney

I'm not sure if there was a similar reaction to older trades (I'm a 1990 birthday) but I don't recall the Kipper trade making a big splash like Dougie did.

I'm with Roof-Daddy on this one - a great trade for the Flames, but a fleecing should also mean the team that got fleeced would have been way better off if it hadn't made the trade. It's debatable how much better the Sharks would have been if they'd kept Kipper.

I think both the Stars and Flames made out OK in that trade. Nieuwy led them to a Cup, and Flames got a franchise winger who basically led them to a Cup. Would hardly call it a fleecing.

Defnitely disagree with your take on this. I feel there are 2 ways to evaluate a trade when a draft pick is involved.

I mean in the case of Kipper a 3rd string goalie for a 2nd is a win for the Sharks. Fast forward several months and Kipper has carried the Flames to game 6 of the SCF with the Flames holding the 3-2 lead. Trade immediately swings heavily in the Flames favor and it appears to be a pure fleecing.

Ask a sharks fan in the last 5 years and they now have Vlassic to show for Kipper and many Shark fans will agree that was a great trade for both teams.


The Hamilton trade is different in regards to what Dougie was when he was dealt. He was a 22 year old that was coming off a 40Pt season and was a top 10 pick 4 years before he was traded. Based on the first 2 years since the trade it does look like Calgary fleeced Boston badly. In 5 years if one or more of those picks pans out to be a player as good or better than Dougie I don't think it will be the fleecing we call it today.

Some may say the Flames overpaid for Hamonic but if he has a long successful career in Calgary and those picks all bust then it will be remembered years down the road as a fleecing by the Flames.


In short there are 2 ways and times to evaluate player for pick trades. At the time of the deal and 5 years later.

As a Canucks fan where do you stand on the Baertschi trade? Does the interpretation of the deal not change based on how well Andersen does? Sven has been decent in Vancouver and he could play there for 10 years averaging 25 goals and 50pta playing in the top 6.. Good value for a 2nd rounder. If Andersen turns into a top pairing 40pt Dman do you think Flames fans will feel they got fleeced. If everything else remains the same and Andersen completely busts out wouldn't Canuck fans feel they fleeced Calgary?

3rd string goalie for a 2nd round pick isn't a "fleecing" anyways.

It was a fair value trade at the time of the trade.

Luckily for both teams, the goalie AND the pick both turned into great assets for the teams involved.

NOT a fleecing.

The return for Phaneuf was awesome! We got like six 3rd-line LWers and an undersized D-man. That was a fleecing if there ever was one! Thanks Sutter.



But seriously, gotta be Kipper. It was totally out of left field and turned around the franchise's fortunes for a few years.

LOL. I'd take that over what Feaster got for Iginla/Bouwmeester. Kind of puts those deals into perspective. Although of course a huge amount of credit for Button and the scouting staff for finding some gems in the 2nd round.

If I remember correctly Calgary wanted Todd Harvey but the Stars said no and we took Iginla as a second choice. If that is correct then I imagine the Stars would like to go back in time and change that trade.
