Not sure why people hate this trade so much. Here's my breakdown:
Fullbacks cancel each other out.
So we then have Joe Fleming, a pending free agent + Wes Lysack (a great young player) for a #1 QB.
Seems even to me. Winnipeg wasn't going to just take Fleming and then lose him at season's end so obviously needed something for the future (Lysack).
Calgary addresses their #1 need for the short and long term. That's why we've been all asking for this whole season - a real QB. And you have to give up something to get something.
