Some people are comparing this trade to the Gilmour-Leeman trade, which is ridiculous. Gilmour was already a superstar, and stanley cup WINNER when he was traded. Who is Dion Phaneuf? I big name that came into the league with a lot of hype, had a good rookie year and three subsequent underachieving years, a big contract and seemingly a poor relationship with his teammates.

I think a trade with San Jose for Setoguchi would be a good move for a few of Calgary's current glut of forwards. He has huge offensive potential, but is probably most useful on a 1st line. That's not happening with San Jose's current group.
