As I said in another thread, even if the Flames get Seguin for nothing, they are not a playoff team this coming season, and likely next season either unless a lot of things go right for them. So factor in that they would have needed to part with pieces to get him, I don't think it would have been a great benefit to get him without any of the other peripheral stuff. Also what is the rumored package that we know for sure would have returned Seguin? Sure it's great to speculate Backlund, 2nd, and Gaudreau...but what would the actual cost have been?

Although I hope ownership keeps in mind a few years from now that it asked the customers to pay a lot of money for an on ice team that didn't put as much financial resources into the on ice product as it could have. It likely is the right hockey move, but I hope they give something back to these customers in the future...they'll owe it to them.
