Nemisz and Tanguay (indrectly)??

Close to the answer I was looking for. Nemisz is right, not Tanguay however as he is not currently a Flame a result of trade but rather by free agency.
To determine the other player you have to look at the other draft pick that was acquired along with the Nemisz pick. It was a 2nd rounder in 2009 which the Flames packaged up with Lawrence Nycolat and Ryan Wilson to reacquire Jordan Leopold. Leo was packaged with a 3rd in '09 to acquire the rights to Jay Bouwmeester, who Calgary signed prior to him becoming an unrestricted free agent.
Thus we can trace a part of Nemisz and Bouwmeester back to Ranheim/Suter/Drury.
In fact, the draft pick which was used to select Paul Ranheim can be traced back even further to Ken Houston who was drafted with the Flames' own pick in 1973--this makes Nemisz and Bouwmeester the two current Flames players whose history with the club can be partly traced back through trades the furthest! Only Jarome Iginla comes as close, being traceable as he is back to the Kent Nilsson selection in 1976.
