They waited too long, and had their hand forced. I think the returns they got weren't too bad, all things considered.

I'm not saying the Flames didn't wait too long, or that the GM at the time didn't bungle those trades horribly when they did happen…It just sucks to see another team get more in one trade than we got for essentially our entire core. And that doesn't even take into account the fleecing they pulled off in the Vanek trade and the next king's ransom they will get for Moulson.
I just wish the Flames could be on the receiving end of some trades like this, instead of settling for the Chris Butlers and Reto Berras of the world.
