As for your other post, some of us saw that Bartowski was ready for a cup of coffee with an NHL team, and thought he was a much better throw in player, "asset value wise" over the 2 players we got from Pitt. Add in the Russian and it was a no brainer on which trade was better.
The only reason the 2 players from the Pitt deal got praise was that the trade came out of left field and they were already members of the flames. The usual "koolaid" drinkers started praising them because they were flames. The Boston deal that fell through took hours, so CP had time to bash the players from that deal because they were not flames yet. Those CP had this image of getting top prospect after top prospect , plus 1st's for Iggy. THey were not realistic.
I shake my head at posters that think the 2 deals are similar.

Totally agree, Hanowski needs big time work on his skating but now it's his full time job so it will be interesting to see the evolution of him as a player.
