Picking up guys like Nino are the type of trades that can actually prevent a team from going on a 3 or 4 year slide, making the slide perhaps 2 years instead.
If the Flames really wanted to try a quick rebuild this is probably their last year to do it. Perhaps 2 games in is not the time, but if this team has limited success in the first 10 games I sure hope that they are listening to any and all offers for Bouwmeester, Iginla, Cammy and Tanguay. Those guys are probably still worth a combined 3 top level prospects and 3 mid level prospects.
