If you think Dion was not worth more than the Flames got for him, then you are a fool.
If everyone wants what you have because of a false impression, you get no bonus points for setting the record straight and taking less. This is sport. Like a game, each trade has a winner and a loser.
Iggy is worth what someone will trade for him. You don't know until you try, what that is. I have no idea how you test the waters without nuking the fanbase though.

It was pretty mental for the Chicago game. But I've been on the road too much to take clients to games, so I only have that to go on.
I think the Flames could be 30th for 5 years and stills ell out every game. There is no big league competition. Even if seats are empty (as they were shortly before the cup run) they are paid for.
All bets are off if oil stays low though.
I say this as someone that would still probably go to games/buy jerseys/etc.
