Ales Kotalik, and Christopher Higgins were awful for the Flames. Kotalik hurt the Flames because of his salary and did nothing, and Higgins never wanted to play in Calgary. In addition, we traded Brandon Prust for those two. Brad Stuart sucks too. After trading Andrew Ference the Flames never had the same chemistry, and progressively got worse. Those aren't the worst players, in terms of pure hockey skill, but trading for them continues to hurt the Flames.
