Probably partially due to how bad the Flames were and how few good prospects we had.
I followed our prospects back then and I don't think he was as good of a prospect as Pelech, Negrin, Brodie, Erixon, etc are now.
Like I said, pretty irrelevant. Even at the time we got a 3rd rounder back, which if you include retrospect makes that deal actually look pretty good on the GM at the time.
Hard to call a GM incompetent for getting a 3rd rounder for a player who was a total non-factor in the NHL only logging 2 career games.
